The United States will begin delivering humanitarian aid into Gaza via airdrops as Israel and Hamas continue cease-fire negotiations.
President Biden announced the news on Friday during a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The Hill reports that the aim is to provide humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians as the fighting continues:
The airdrops are seen as a way for the U.S. to get aid into the area while officials continue efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas to allow for food, medicine, water and other supplies to get into Gaza, and for hostages to be released.
On Monday, Biden prematurely announced that Israel was prepared to halt military operations for Ramadan if Hamas released more of its hostages. (RELATED: Israel Agrees To Stop Military Activities For Ramadan, Says Biden)
The next day, over 100,000 voters chose “uncommitted” instead of Biden in the Michigan Democratic primary, a number 10 times greater than Trump’s margin of victory in the state in 2016. (RELATED: ‘Uncommitted’ Crushes Biden By 17-Point Margin In Major Michigan City)
