President Joe Biden plans to sit down with 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley for an interview to air Sunday, with the war in Israel expected to be the main topic.
CBS News and Stations CEO Wendy McMahon announced the interview at an Axios event on Thursday.
Biden last sat down with Pelley for a 60 Minutes interview just over a year ago.
Biden has spoken several times since the Hamas attack to stress the U.S. strong support for Israel. Earlier this week, he said, “We must be crystal clear: We stand with Israel. We stand with Israel. We will make sure it has what it needs to take care of its citizens, to defend itself, to respond to this attack,” he said. He said that Israel “has a right to respond, and indeed has a duty to respond, to this vicious attacks.”
The president said that “Hamas does not stand for the Palestinian people’s right to dignity and self-determination. Its stated purpose is the annihilation of the State of Israel and the murder of Jewish people. They use Palestinian civilians as human shields. Hamas offers nothing but terror and bloodshed with no regard to who pays the price.”
