Joe Biden, president of the United States, has announced $100 million as humanitarian assistance in Gaza and the West Bank.
“And we will have mechanisms in place so this aid reaches those in need – not Hamas or terrorist groups,” he said.The US president arrived in Israel a few hours ago following an invitation from Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli prime minister, to show support for the Jewish nation in the ongoing conflict with Hamas, the Palestinian militant group.
Hamas, as well as Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Bahrain, accused Israel of carrying out the “horrific massacre”.In another statement, the Israel Defense Forces said it received intelligence that “Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza”. Biden cautioned Israelis not to be consumed by rage, and said the vast majority of Palestinians are not affiliated with Hamas.The US president added that he would ask Congress for an “unprecedented” aid package this week, and also unveiled more aid for Palestinian citizens.
