President Joe Biden on Wednesday said he would ask Congress for “unprecedented” amounts of aid to both Israel and the Palestinian people amid escalating violence following terror attacks by Hamas and a deadly explosion at a Gaza hospital.
Mr Biden, who delivered remarks in Tel Aviv after a series of meetings with Israeli officials, first responders and survivors of the 7 October attacks, urged both sides against being consumed by anger in an escalating cycle of violence and making mistakes similar to those that the US and its allies had made in the period following the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
