Biden Remarks On Israel Underway Shortly

US

President Biden is shortly due to deliver remarks on Israel from the White House.

  • Livestream: https://www.whitehouse.gov/live/
  • Biden is expected to offer full-throated support for Israel and announce measures to enhance security assistance to help combat the threat from Hamas.
  • Observers will be watching to see if he addresses the paralysis in the House of Representatives caused by the absence of a speaker.
  • There have been some suggestions that the White House might move to request a huge supplemental package of aid for Israel as part of a broader supplemental with Ukraine aid and funds for border security.
  • As any such package would requite Congressional approval, the White House may be hoping that the overwhelming support for Israel amongst lawmakers from both parties will compel Republicans to work quickly to elect a new speaker.
