While the United States and its allies struggle, President Joe Biden announced that he will provide $100 million in aid to the West Bank and Gaza.
The region is accused of supporting Palestinian Hamas terrorists who killed over 1,300 innocent civilians, including 30 Americans.
An estimated 150 people were taken hostage, including possibly 13 Americans who remain missing. (Poll: Should Gaza Refugees Come to America? VOTE)

IDF Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hecht said the Hamas music festival massacre “is the largest number of Jews killed in one day since the Holocaust.”
During his visit to Israel, Biden reaffirmed the US commitment to the country in its conflict with Hamas and pledged continued support for Israel’s missile defense system.
Biden’s planned trip to meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and other leaders was canceled after a Gaza hospital was bombed.
Biden expressed sadness and outrage over the incident, stating that it appeared to be the work of the “other team.” (Trending: US Forces Attacked By Suicide Drones)
“The point is, is that I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion of the hospital in Gaza yesterday, and based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you, but there’s a lot of people out there not sure, so we’ve got a lot—we’ve got to overcome a lot of things,” Biden said.
Israel has targeted known Hamas locations with its airstrikes and missiles.
In Gaza, the death toll climbed to 2,329 Palestinians killed and 9,714 wounded, according to Reuters. In the West Bank, 54 were recorded dead and 1,100 wounded since the conflict between Hamas and Israel started on Oct. 7.
Palestinian Hamas terrorist notoriously used their own people as human shields, including women and children. The terror group also kills Palestinians who attempt to flee.
This makes it incredibly difficult for Israel to defend itself while avoiding innocent casualties.
Israel has repeatedly warned innocent civilians, as well as women and children, to evacuate the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military is preparing tens of thousands of soldiers to capture Gaza City and destroy Hamas’ current leadership.
Three senior Israeli military officers outlined the unclassified details about the counterattack. IDF says its main goal is to destroy the top political and military hierarchy of Hamas.
The assault is expected to be Israel’s “biggest ground operation since it invaded Lebanon in 2006.”
This also the first time that Israel has attempted to capture land and at least briefly hold onto it since its invasion of Gaza in 2008.
