Biden departs Israel promising support for Israelis and Palestinians

US President Joe Biden has left Israel after reaffirming support for
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and promising $100 million dollars
of aid for Palesinitians in Gaza.

He backed the Israeli claim that Palestinian militants were
responsible for the explosion at a Gaza hospital that killed an
estimated 500 people.

Biden also said that he had secured a commitment from Israel to allow
food and water in through the Gaza border crossing with Egypt.

And the US President gave his rock-solid support to the Israeli Prime Minister.
