"Biden's Dual Address: Israel, Ukraine, and the Limits of US Influence"

President Biden will deliver an address from the Oval Office on Thursday to discuss the U.S. response to Hamas' attacks against Israel and Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine. The speech comes after Biden's trip to Israel, where he expressed support for the country and emphasized the need for humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza. The president is also planning to ask Congress for a $100 billion aid package that includes funding for Israel, Ukraine, and Indo-Pacific countries. The U.S. has sent significant aid to Ukraine but warns that additional support may be delayed without action from Congress. Emergency aid for Israel has bipartisan support, but efforts to provide funding have stalled.
