During a short visit to Tel Aviv, Israel, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, announced that he's giving $100 million to help people in Gaza and the West Bank. He said that the people there need things like food, water, medicine, and places to live.

President Biden also talked to the leaders of Israel and asked them to let this important aid reach the people in Gaza who really need it, not the groups like Hamas.

He repeated his support for Israel in its conflict with Hamas, a group that has been attacking Israel. He compared these attacks to the tragic events of September 11 in the United States. He also reminded Israel to follow the rules of war and not give in to anger.

I just announced $100 million for humanitarian assistance in Gaza and the West Bank.

This money will support over 1 million displaced and conflict-affected Palestinians.

And we will have mechanisms in place so this aid reaches those in need – not Hamas or terrorist groups.

— President Biden (@POTUS) October 18, 2023

President Biden mentioned that most Palestinians are not part of Hamas, so they shouldn't suffer because of the actions of a few.

This aid announcement comes after the U.S. and Israel agreed to create a plan to get help to the people in Gaza without helping Hamas. This agreement happened after long discussions between U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the leader of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.
