Biden announced that his administration will commit $100 million to humanitarian assistance in both Gaza and the West Bank.
President Joe Biden announced $100 million in new humanitarian assistance to victims of the ongoing conflict in Israel, and reaffirmed America's commitment to its longtime ally.
Biden also committed $100 million in humanitarian assistance to both Gaza and the West Bank, to support the more than 1 million people displaced by the ongoing conflict. "I was outraged and saddened by the enormous loss of life yesterday in the hospital in Gaza," Biden said after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog.
The president said the humanitarian aid would be delivered via U.N. agencies and international NGOs, and he warned Hamas not to commandeer the supplies, a common occurrence in Gaza.
