US President Joe Biden spoke during his visit to Al-Mu 'ah Hospital in occupied Jerusalem about his 1972 traffic accident with his family, which killed his wife and daughter, and about his treatment journey.
Biden said: "I would like to express that hope lasts, my background, my family's background, and about longing for justice and working for justice. History and hope are always in a state of progress and maturity. I always remember these words, "noting that" after I had a car accident with my wife and daughter, a nurse came to our rescue. I am honest to describe the work of nurses and that they are like angels. "
He added: "I was treated at the hospital and underwent surgery to save my life and of course I never forget those moments and I always talk in my office about how I was dealt with and that without that help I would have lost my life. When I look at history, I feel the value of the nursing profession, and I see hope for nurses and nurses ".
"On the operating bed you feel pain and you almost lose your life, but it ends when the nurse enters and touches your face and you start talking and telling you that you are getting better. When I talk about nursing professionals I talk honestly. They give hope and no difference between females and males working in this field ".
