Biden's Visit to Israel: Promising Support and Addressing Humanitarian Crisis

President Joe Biden visited Israel to demonstrate unwavering support for the country and assure its defense against Hamas. He pledged to provide whatever Israel needs to defend itself and emphasized the importance of Israel being a safe place for Jewish people. Biden also called for the safe release of hostages held by Hamas and announced a $100 million funding for humanitarian assistance in Gaza and the West Bank. He expressed condolences to the families affected by the conflict and compared the Hamas attack to the brutality of the Holocaust. Biden's planned trip to Jordan for a four-way summit was canceled after an explosion at a Gaza City hospital.
