White House Press Secretary Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a press conference that U.S. President Joe Biden has "made it a top priority" to send aid to Palestinians.
The U.S. budget deficit increased 23 percent to $1.7 trillion, an increase of $320 billion, in the year after the Biden administration pushed through the Inflation Reduction Act which it claimed would close the government’s funding gap.
The White House faced significant backlash after mistakenly posting a photograph of President Biden with U.S. troops in Israel, failing to obscure the soldiers' identities.
In the backdrop of this appeal, discussions have been initiated within the Biden administration, in collaboration with congressional members, to potentially curate a larger combined aid package.
