WASHINGTON - US President Joe Biden concluded his joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky by making a reference to the Hanukkah miracle, saying that “light will always prevail over darkness.”
“Tonight is the fourth night of Hanukkah,” said Biden while standing next to Zelensky, who is Jewish. Biden said that it is “a time when Jewish people around the world - President Zelenskyy and many of the families among them - honor the timeless miracle of a small band of warriors fighting for their values and their freedom against a much larger foe, and how they endured and how they overcame; how the flame of faith, with only enough oil for one day, burned brightly for eight days.”
He said that it was “a story of survival and resilience that reminds us that the coldest days of the year, that light will always prevail over darkness, and hope drives away despair; and that the human spirit is unconquerable as long as there are good people willing to do what is right.”
