WASHINGTON: U.S. President Joe Biden is set to discuss two major international issues; the Israel-Paletine war and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine involving Russia in a key address on Thursday.
Both topics have garnered global attention and concerns, and the President’s response holds implications for the United States’ role in international diplomacy and conflict resolution.
During his visit to Israel, President Biden delivered a message of support to the Israeli people. The visit was not only a show of solidarity but also a strategic effort to secure humanitarian aid for Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip. The region has seen its share of humanitarian crises, and the provision of aid aims to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian population.
As part of this effort, the U.S. government announced a commitment of $100 million in aid for Gaza and the West Bank.
Additionally, the Biden administration is preparing to propose a significant $100 billion supplemental assistance package. This package is set to benefit not only Israel and Ukraine but also Taiwan and enhance security measures along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Washington was going to make sure the defend of Israel. For decades, the US has ensured Israel’s qualitative military edge. This highlights the long-standing partnership between the US and Israel, where military assistance has been a cornerstone of their relationship.
The proposed support package for Israel is described as “unprecedented.” It signals a deepening of the security partnership between the two nations. This move is likely to have profound implications for the geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East.

Ukraine has been facing ongoing conflict with Russia, Taiwan deals with its own complex relationship with China, and border security remains a domestic priority for the U.S.
