US President plans to visit occupied Palestine

US President will travel to occupied Palestine on Wednesday in which he will hold talks with Israeli regime's Prime Minister.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): US President will travel to occupied Palestine on Wednesday in which he will hold talks with Israeli regime's Prime Minister.

US President Joe Biden will travel to occpupied Palestine to meet with Israeli regime's officials on Wednesday following the al-aqsa flood operation, said Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Biden's travel to Israel as the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip grows more dire and as Israel prepares for a possible ground attack on the 141-square-mile (365-square-kilometer) territory.

Biden is looking to send the strongest message yet that the US is behind Israel. His Democratic administration has pledged military support, sending US carriers and aid to the region. Officials have said they would ask Congress for upward of $2 billion in additional aid for both Israel and Ukraine, which is fighting Russia.

Efforts to negotiate a ceasefire to allow aid to reach the Gaza Strip with the United Nations had previously failed. Blinken reportedly met for over five hours with Israeli regime's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv.
