The United States today (Thursday) officially announced the return of aid to the Palestinians that was almost completely stopped during the tenure of former President Donald Trump. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas Greenfield has announced that the Biden administration will provide $ 15 million to vulnerable populations in the West Bank and Gaza, for humanitarian aid and tackling the corona crisis.
Greenfield added that “President Biden is re-establishing American aid programs that support economic development and humanitarian aid for the Palestinian people.”
Your daughter so, U.S. President Joe Biden spoke to reporters at a news conference he has held since taking office, And said he intends to withdraw his troops from Afghanistan next year, and the question is “not whether, but when.” Referring to China, he made it clear that the country’s goal was to become the world’s leading force, and stung its leader, Xi Jinping, by stating that he had no “democratic bones” in his body.

He made it clear that he hoped Vice President Camela Harris would run with him again. He also said that “we are committed to working against nuclear armaments” when asked about North Korea, and said that if there was an escalation, he would not hesitate to respond.
In addition, Biden spoke on a variety of intra-American issues such as the U.S. immigration problems, cooperation with the Republican Party, the great economic aid program he passed, and more.
On the issue of aid to the Palestinians, in “Walla!” It has been reported that the USID Aid Agency will transfer the money to Christian-American aid organizations operating in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in front of hospitals and providing food to the needy.
As you may recall, during Trump’s tenure, the almost only aid the United States provided to the Palestinians was several tens of millions of dollars a year earmarked for the security services. Israel was the one that asked the US administration not to cut aid to the Palestinian security forces.
