Biden Conditioned Visit To Israel On Allowing Humanitarian Aid Into Gaza


US President Joe Biden conditioned his visit to Israel on Wednesday on Israel’s commitment to allow the “innocent Palestinians” in the Gaza Strip to receive humanitarian aid, The Washington Post reported.

US officials waited to announce Biden’s trip until they received a promise from Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday night to allow a humanitarian package enter Gaza, two US officials said, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Secretary of State Tony Blinken announced Biden’s visit after he received the approval for the aid after a marathon 7.5 hours meeting at the Kiryah headquarters in Tel Aviv. During the meeting, Israeli and US officials sat in separate rooms and passed documents to each others regarding humanitarian issues, including the transfer of aid to Gaza and the creation of safe zones for Palestinian officials, a State Department official said.

Israeli law professor Eugene Kontovorich commented: “It is quite clear now. Behind the nice words, the Biden administration is holding Israel back from taking out Hamas. His visit in person does nothing more than make him a willful human shield for Hamas, literally blocking a ground operation with his body.”

Blinken later stated that he shares “Israel’s concern that Hamas may seize or destroy aid entering Gaza or otherwise prevent it from reaching the people who need it. If Hamas in any way blocks humanitarian assistance from reaching civilians including by seizing the aid itself, we will be the first to condemn it and we will work to prevent it from happening again.”

The UNWRA tweeted on Monday that Hamas [which it identified only as “a group of people”] stole humanitarian supplies and equipment from its compound in Gaza City but subsequently deleted the tweets – but not quickly enough to fool anyone.

  1. If crooked Joe Biden cannot focus solely & unconditionally & exclusively on immediate release of all hostages before any other order of business, then we simply don’t need him in 🇮🇱, and actually even putin & certainly President Donald Trump שליט”א would serve a way more useful purpose coming to 🇮🇱 at this pogrom juncture in time.

  2. Been saying this all along. He does nothing for the benefit of the Israelis only his own. He is at best a distraction-at worst a puppet of the enemy. He should be banned from entering the country. Why are we allowing any aid in there without the hostages returned?

  3. You know what Mr Biden, forget it. Go visit Gaza instead on condition they stop muredering and terrorizing the innocent civilians of Israel. You are and always were an absolutely useless president

  4. Sleepy Joe is full of bluff. He is standing by Sleepy Joe some months before an election. He has promised Israel the world but is already walking back on his promises. Israel cannot both destroy the Hamas savages and allow life to go on as normal in the areas they rule. H

  5. I hope the dim wit doesn’t come Beit Din not wanted here….his initials alone and what they stand for are pure evil…..sorry, Chinese the same…time we protected our country, what stops someone on the street from just taking one of our children’s hands, a three year old walks a 2 year old to Gan…please

  6. Biden coming conditioned on our allowing aid to the terrorists and their supporters? Biden can take the aid and ram it up his

  7. @tzedikis

    What does Beit Din have to do with all this?
    Or the Chinese?
    Or kidnappers?

    You make 0 sense.

    I hereby implore YWN to adhere to its policies and not approve posts that do not remotely resemble the English language.

  8. Netanyahu is an ערב רב. Maybe not from the worst ones, but definitely ערב רב. He didn’t mention a word about praying, or בעזרת השם etc. Worst than the אומות העולם.

    This weakness of spirit at the top – despite the tremendous spirit in the nation – will surely have real consequences. (and I believe Trump senses that as well.) ואין לנו להשען אלא על אבינו שבשמים

  9. Maybe someone should show Biden the videos of the “innocent Palestians”, children included, who were cheering the vehicles transporting the hostages through Gaza, and also show him where they were attacking the hostages. Where was “humanitarian aid” when we were being tortured and murdered?!

  10. What do you all want from the poor guy! His puppeteer is controlling him and it’s not Dr. Jill. Hussein Obambam is running the show backstage.

  11. Biden sends Anthony Blinken across the Middle East to speak to Arab countries to assist Israel , sends Israel millions of dollars of Military equipment, support’s Israel 100% in it’s current fight against Hamas, sends 2 carriers to the region to help Israel and this is the hakoras hatov he gets ???????

  12. 2 state solution is still a Biden and Blinken fantasy they are there to protect Abbas & company
    The US invaded 2 countries after 9/11
    3000 dead
    If you compare this with what happened in Israel you are talking over 90000 dead the US would carpet bomb them not supply water etc
    Human rights for the whole world except for them
    Israel puts up a building and the UN comes to a stand still
    The world loves seeing dead jews
    They despise when we fight back
    It’s easier to ask forgivness than permission just do your thing

  13. jackk:

    You missed the point. Biden talked, talked, and talked some more. And he said all the right things. The aircraft carriers that were sent still require the orders from Biden to act. Until then, they are a billboard. And advertising sends a message, but it doesn’t protect, it doesn’t attack, and might minimally deter. Now, he dangles a carrot, but makes it conditional. And everyone who cares about fact and truth know that anything sent there will NOT go to civilians, and it will go to fund terror. You know that, but still want to push the narrative. We are all grateful for the statements. They haven’t saved a hostage, stopped the rockets, interrupted the flow of money (and probably weapons) from Iran to Gaza, and have not provided Israel a dime yet. Just promises. Like Obama – promises, then wartime technicalities to stop the delivery of arms already purchased.

    Get some facts here, and then comment.

  14. Jackk, I think the same as you. I’m wondering what the outburst on Biden is here. Allowing humanitarian aid isn’t the end of the world. Besides the enormous amount of aid Biden sent to Israel he also gives Israel the green light to do what ever It takes to completely eliminate the Hamas. He also just warned Iran sending them a clear message that If they get Involved in the war the US will responded with military force against Iran. This is a huge help for Israel in this war and is definitely not something that the thug Hussain Barak Obama would of done. I would advise you all to wait and see that the US will allow Israel to eliminate the Hamas taking what it takes as we see of the large number of civilians and hundreds of children that have been killed in Gaza by the IDF and the US ( and European countries) are keeping up their complete silence, so who cares about humanitarian aid.

  16. Jackk, YWN is merely presenting the facts and the news. You’ll stand with Biden regardless of how loving he is for Palestinians and ultimately Hamas. It’s not a question of Hakaros HaTov.

  17. Allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza can only & WILL only be an option and will ONLY be feasible after the IMMEDIATELY release of every single hostage unharmed, no questions asked, and until such time, Israel MUST & WILL continue to cause unsurmountable pressure on Gaza, making all life IMPOSSIBLE in Gaza
    Anything even so much as 1 iota less than this, is TOTALLY unacceptable
