Biden: US will aid Palestinians in Gaza after bombings

His remarks came during a joint news conference with the South Korean president following their first meeting at the White House.

United States President Joe Biden said he told Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Palestinians in Jerusalem must be respected and humanitarian aid must be delivered to Gaza as part of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas. “It is essential that the Palestinians on the West Bank be secure,” Biden said he told Netanyahu when they spoke on May 20. Biden said the US is “insisting that Israeli citizens, whether they be Arab or Jew, be treated equally”.
