“US, Israel agree on humanitarian aid plan for Gaza”
U.S. President Joe Biden plans to visit Israel on the 18th (local time) and then visit Jordan to hold meetings with the heads of Jordan, Egypt, and the Palestinian Authority to discuss ways to support residents of the Gaza Strip.
U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken, who returned to Israel for the first time in four days, held a press conference at the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv after an eight-hour meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and announced President Biden’s plan to visit Israel.
Secretary Blinken said, “We agreed (with the Israeli government) to explore ways to ensure that humanitarian aid items sent by international organizations and donor countries can be delivered to civilians in the Gaza Strip,” and “relief supplies will be delivered to the Gaza Strip as quickly as possible.” “It is important to become one,” he emphasized.
He said, “During this visit, President Biden will hear about the operation to deliver humanitarian aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip while minimizing civilian casualties.” “We will make it clear that we have the right and obligation to protect.”
John Kirby, spokesman for the White House National Security Council (NCS), said, “After visiting Israel, President Biden plans to go to Amman, Jordan, to meet King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein of Jordan, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.” He said, “President Biden will discuss security and humanitarian support for the people of Gaza while in Jordan.”
