Biden met PM Netanyahu

Earlier, US President Biden said that Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi has agreed to send 20 trucks of aid to the Gaza Strip. The Israeli government had said that it would not allow humanitarian aid from Egypt into southern Gaza unless it could be ensured that none of it would be diverted to Hamas.

Will seek support from Congress for Israel

Joe Biden told reporters on Air Force One during refueling in Germany on Wednesday that Sisi had given him the assurance during a phone conversation after a visit to Israel. Earlier, Biden had said he would ask Congress this week for support for Israel as it prepares to crush Hamas.

100 Million dollars help

Along with this, Biden also announced $100 million in US humanitarian assistance for the residents of Gaza and the West Bank. He also said he had been shown evidence by the Pentagon that Israel was not responsible for the deadly explosion at a Gaza City hospital on Tuesday night.
