The President of the United States, Joe Biden, demanded this Wednesday that the Israeli Government allow the entry into the Gaza Strip of the new humanitarian aid to the Palestinians that the US Congress has just approved.
“Israel must ensure that all this aid reaches the Palestinians in Gaza without delay”Biden said in statements to the press at the White House.
Biden made those comments after signing a law, valued at $95 billion, with military aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and that forces TikTok's Chinese parent company to sell the application or face a veto in the United States.

Biden stated that this aid destined for the Gaza Strip will go into the hands of “innocent people who are seriously suffering the consequences of what Hamas started” with its October 7 attack against Israel, in which 1,200 people and others died. 230 were kidnapped.

“My commitment to Israel is unwavering,” the president emphasized.
