Zelensky's Visit to Biden: Urgent Aid and Political Maneuvering

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived in Washington to push for additional U.S. aid for Ukraine's war effort, framing the stalled negotiations in Congress as a win for Russia. Despite increasingly bleak chances of passing an aid deal, Zelensky will meet with President Biden and lawmakers to advocate for financial assistance and emphasize the importance of defending against Russian aggression. The visit comes after Republicans blocked a $110.5 billion emergency spending bill that included aid for Ukraine. The Ukrainian president's appeals aim to secure support and prevent a potential Russian victory in the ongoing conflict.

Biden to Meet Zelenskyy at White House, Urges Congress for More Aid

President Joe Biden will host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Tuesday, as negotiations for an aid deal for Ukraine remain stalled in Congress. The meeting aims to demonstrate the United States' commitment to supporting Ukraine against Russia's invasion. Zelenskyy will also speak to senators in an effort to secure aid before the end of the year. However, a bipartisan group of senators is struggling to reach an agreement on border security in exchange for increased Ukraine funding. The White House has warned that inaction on funding could severely impact Ukraine's ability to defend itself.

"Biden Stands with Israel, Announces Aid Deal Amid Gaza Hospital Blast: Live Updates"

President Biden backed Israel's claim that a Palestinian group caused the explosion at a Gaza hospital, which killed hundreds of people, and announced a $100 million aid package for Gaza. American officials cited evidence from various sources, including satellite data and intercepted communications, pointing to a failed rocket launch from within Gaza as the cause of the blast. Biden's statements and aid announcement come amid widespread anger and protests against Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza. Congressional leaders, after a briefing by intelligence officials, expressed confidence that Israel was not responsible for the hospital explosion. Meanwhile, tensions are escalating in the region, with Iran warning of new fronts against Israel and Israeli families split on the possibility of a ground invasion of Gaza.

Cease-fire Deal Fails, Gaza Border Remains Closed, Aid Shortages Worsen

Hopes of a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas were dashed as the border crossing between Gaza and Egypt remained sealed, despite reports of an agreement to allow aid and dual nationals to pass through. Both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas denied the existence of such an agreement. The situation has deepened frustration among aid groups, as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens. The Israeli military campaign aims to end Hamas rule in Gaza, resulting in thousands of casualties and a dire shortage of essential supplies. Efforts to reopen the border crossing have been hindered by security concerns and disagreements over inspections of aid vehicles. The United States is in talks with various parties to find a mechanism to allow aid into Gaza.
