President Joe Biden to Pitch $100 Billion Plan to Aid Israel and Ukraine in Prime-Time Address

Washington, D.C. – President Joe Biden is set to address the nation in a rare prime-time address on Thursday, in which he will pitch a $100 billion plan to help both Israel and Ukraine defend themselves and provide humanitarian relief for the 2 million residents of Gaza.

The address follows a quick visit to Tel Aviv on Wednesday, where Biden met with Israeli leaders and discussed the next phase of a counterattack in Gaza that began with an aerial bombardment and may now shift to a risky ground incursion.

The aid package is aimed at strengthening both countries, which are currently in the midst of fighting wars against enemies that want to wipe them out of existence. Biden’s trip to Ukraine in February was also a show of solidarity with the U.S. ally.

In a statement released ahead of his address, Biden said, “We are at a global inflection point that is bigger than party or politics. The leaders discussed Ukraine’s ongoing fight to defend its freedom and independence from Russian aggression.”

The aid package comes in the wake of the Hamas terror attack that killed more than 1,300 Israelis. Biden’s address is expected to explain why he believes it is crucial for Israel and Ukraine to win their respective wars.

The aid package is part of Biden’s commitment to helping countries in need and promoting peace and stability in the region. It is also a sign of the United States’ commitment to its allies and its dedication to protecting human rights and providing humanitarian relief.
