White House quietly walks back Biden's comment on adding conditions for sending assistance to Israel
Fox News
White House says U.S. will not place conditions on assistance to Israel during its war with Hamas, walking back a comment from President Biden suggesting otherwise.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who was among a group of about a dozen senators who met privately with Sullivan on Tuesday, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Sullivan "made it clear that the White House is not asking for any conditionality in aid. So I want to leave that very clear."
Last week, Biden told reporters that conditioning military aid to Israel was a "worthwhile thought" and suggested that had he intervened in negotiations by doing so, it would have been more difficult to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas.
