Biden Tells Israel to Restore ‘Humanitarian’ Aid to Gaza, Promises $100 Million From U.S. for Gaza and West Bank
Biden in Tel Aviv: “The vast majority of Palestinians are not Hamas. Hamas does not represent of the Palestinian people.”
President Joe Biden told Israel to release ‘humanitarian assistance’ to terrorist-controlled Gaza as he arrived on a ‘solidarity’ visit in the wake of last week’s Hamas-orchestrated massacre of Israelis.
Upon his arrival in Israel on Wednesday, President Biden announced $100 million in humanitarian aid to Palestinians. The amount is in addition to an estimated $300 million in annual U.S. assistance. “I am announcing $100 million of new US funding for humanitarian assistance in both Gaza and the West Bank,” President Biden said in Tel Aviv.
I just announced $100 million for humanitarian assistance in Gaza and the West Bank.
This money will support over 1 million displaced and conflict-affected Palestinians.
And we will have mechanisms in place so this aid reaches those in need – not Hamas or terrorist groups.
— President Biden (@POTUS) October 18, 2023
“Today, I asked the Israeli Cabinet, who I met with for some time this morning, to agree to the delivery of life-saving humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza, based on the understanding that there will be inspections and that the aid should go to civilians, not to Hama,” the president announced.
While Biden placed conditions on Israel on how to prosecute a war imposed on them by Hamas, he apparently didn’t place constraints on Palestinians over the misuse of the incoming humanitarian aid. “Let me be clear: if Hamas diverts or steals the assistance, it will have demonstrated once again it has no regard for the welfare of the Palestinian people and it will end,” he claimed.
Despite scenes of Gazans cheering the returning terrorists as heroes and abusing the Israeli hostages, and pro-Hamas demonstrations in the West Banks, Biden declared that the terrorists who carried out the October 7 massacre “did not represent” the Palestinians. “The vast majority of Palestinians are not Hamas. Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people,” he assured.
Biden cautions Israel not to make the same mistakes the US did after 9/11
“I caution this while you feel that rage, don't be consumed by it. After 9/11, we were enraged in the US. While we sought justice and got justice, we also made mistakes”

As the death toll from last week’s terrorist mass-murder crossed 1400, Biden told the Israelis “not to get consumed by rage.”
“After 9/11, we were enraged in the United States. While we saw justice and got justice, we also made mistakes,” he said.
Hamas plunders UN supplies to wage war on Israel
Biden’s call for more assistance to Gaza comes amid reports that Hamas terrorists are plundering UN humanitarian supplies to run its terrorist war against Israel.
The UN Watch reported Wednesday:
UNRWA originally said that people claiming to be Hamas health ministry officials had showed up with a truck and taken tens of thousands of liters of gasoline, and that UN people were forced to evacuate. Shortly afterwards, UNRWA deleted the post they made and denied that any looting took place. But UN officials as well as Israelis have confirmed the theft of critical supplies by Hamas did, in fact, happen. Israel has long maintained that Hamas steals humanitarian aid to use for their war against Israel, and said there’s no clear oversight of those billions of dollars that UNRWA funnels into Palestinian areas, saying that it typically ends up arming terrorists.
Biden’s humanitarian aid finances Palestinian ‘Pay-to-Slay’ scheme
Shortly after taking office in early 2021, Biden reversed the Trump administration’s decision to cut all Palestinian funding. His administration announced aid worth $235 million in 2021 and raised it to $316 million in 2022.
The PLO-run Palestinian Authority diverts these funds to pay lavish salaries and allowances to convicted terrorists and their relatives. According to the Israel-based watchdog Palestinian Media Watch, the “Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund” gave out an estimated $150 million to terrorists and their families in 2020.

What a horrible little man
A rich horrible little man, I might add.
On page 666 of his book, “Whispering Your Way to Success” Biden reveals the secret of his prosperity: “Speak softly and carry a big wallet”
and as always 10% to the Big Guy.
It’s not just crime boss and dotard-marionette, Biden — it’s all of the vile, morally feckless, bankrupt and stupid Dhimmi-crats who refuse to unequivocally condemn and punish Islamic supremacism, Jew-hate and terrorism, and, who stupidly enable, give deference to and rationalize Arab Muslim “Palestinians’ ” genocidal belligerence and atrocities against Israeli Jews.
The vile Dhimmi-crats are fairly and properly characterized as gleeful ans willing collaborators with Muslim supremacists and terrorists.
I laughed so hard it was hard to go on.
Yeah, they call that baksheesh in that part of the world. You know it as a kickback.
Hate to be repetitive, but would love to see a story on al-Dura. The hospital hoax is no less damaging. Pallywood is disinformation at it’s most deadly.
And it’s not like this is the first time Pallywood has been exposed among the “major reporting institutions.”
Oh dear God
He’s setting us up to bring them here
Hell no
Importing Muslims with no common culture has worked out so great for Europe so why not? I mean, England I’d now 15% Muslim and there are no Death To Jews marches or Allah Akbar stabbed attacks. Australia loves it’s Muslims and the country did not light up the Opera House in Blue and White to be met with “Gas The Jews” protests then apologized for doing it.
The Western Elites will realize it’s mistake of importing millions of Jihad’s who vow to destroy it too late to realize they were serious and professing their love of diversity only moved them down the line to the chopping block
Starting to sound like Kill a Jew, Win a Prize.
Well, you get more of whatever you reward. And to them (as well as to me) it seems as if attacking Israel and receiving aid are somehow connected.
No Arab country will have them, so Biden will probably reward them by bringing a bunch of them here also.
Yes
Yes’s d we have no say so
None
No Arab country will have them, that should tell us enough right there. If they’re not welcome in countries that enjoy a similar climate, religious experience and demographics then they are trouble.
Is this a conservative blog or the times of Israel?
Sorry there aren’t any pro-Hamas comments to comfort you.
I don’t know, does the Times of Israel support a free nation rightfully defending itself against terrorism like conservatives do?
No, as a matter of fact, it doesn’t. It’s gone all in against the judicial reforms that the government has been trying to bring in, which are the absolute minimum necessary to restore some semblance of democracy to Israel. So I would say it does not support a free nation.
Stop with the BS……SB.
Why would you say that?
Because he’s an antisemite, that’s why.
No conservative on Earth would support Hamas
Am I supporting Hamas? What are you talking about?? Read my text:
Despite scenes of Gazans cheering the returning terrorists as heroes and abusing the Israeli hostages, and pro-Hamas demonstrations in the West Banks, Biden declared that the terrorists who carried out the October 7 massacre “did not represent” the Palestinians. “The vast majority of Palestinians are not Hamas. Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people,” he assured.
The Palestinians elected Hamas. They literally represent Gaza.
I am just quoting Biden. See my comments to that for context. How am I supporting Hamas?
Vijeta, you ironically quoted a lying pedophile.
So?
Please pay attention to whom people are replying to, and unruffle your feathers.

Nikki
He said no conservative, not no neocon.
True dat!
My reply would be, “Just as soon as Hamas and its supporters are gone from the region.”
Also…
“The vast majority of Palestinians are not Hamas. Hamas does not represent of the Palestinian people.”
Considering they won election to govern Gaza by an overwhelming majority, I would disagree. And I’m pretty sure no less a personage than Jimmeh Carter (or was it the UN?) certified their election – it was at least as up-and-up as the election of Biden.
October 10:
“Overall, 57% of Gazans express at least a somewhat positive opinion of Hamas—along with similar percentages of Palestinians in the West Bank (52%) and East Jerusalem (64%)—though Gazans who express this opinion of Hamas are fewer than the number of Gazans who have a positive view of Fatah (64%).
But it is organizations like Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and Lion’s Den that receive the most widespread popular support in Gaza. About three quarters of Gazans express support for both groups,”
https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/polls-show-majority-gazans-were-against-breaking-ceasefire-hamas-and-hezbollah
Feckless at best and a PR stunt bordering on whataboutism at worst. Hamas has a documented history of stealing international aid, both in kind goods and funds, then using them to support their terrorist actions. They already did it again a few days ago. Just who exactly is gonna ensure the humanitarian aid is used exclusively for humanitarian purposes as they are intended? The flipping utterly corrupt UN? Get real everyone with a lick of sense knows the aid will go to Hamas and the ‘poor, innocent, non Hamas supporting residents’ of Gaza.
Instead of sanctions, Hamas and Gaza get massive funding increases. This is kind of what I expected. It’s messed up.
Biden has Gaza confused with a public school system.
“The vast majority” of Palis support and encourage Hamas terrorism against Israel and Jews worldwide. They are not held hostage by their home-grown terrorists, they love and admire them.
Any “humanitarian” aid going to Gaza will be diverted to support Hamas, as has been the reality in the past, over and over and over..
Not even their co-religionists want them, but Israel must be forced to play nice, or that senile puppet will shake his finger and shout at them.
This time will be different because Biden will make them say “cross my heart” before they get the money.
You KNOW if there are two sides to an issue, Biden will come down on the wrong one every time.
I hope Bibi tells him Israel will prosecute their own wars in their own way and to butt out. Nobody else gives Biden any respect, no reason for him to be different.
There are two sides to this issue:
Right and Wrong
And as usual, the pedophile-in-chief is on the wrong side.
There don’t need to be two sides for him to be wrong 🙂
He’s talented that way.
It has been observed that Biden has managed to be on the wrong side of every issue throughout his career. The only thing that makes today different is that his mind is gone and you have to wonder who actually made that awful decision.
Any “humanitarian” aid given to the Palestinians will be seized by the extremists and used for terrorist purposes. Even a blind fool could see that but it didn’t stop Brandon from saying it.
And he cares about that why? To him, that’s a feature not a bug.
That’s the purpose
I thought the extra $100M was just to cover the income tax on the $60B he already gave them.
I don’t want a penny of my taxes supporting those barbarians. They’ve been given enough “aid” over the years to build themselves a top-of-the-line infrastructure, water plants, power plants, food production, etc, and they prefer living off of the dhimmis and waiting for the last Jew to be killed so they can start on the Christians.
You are not given a choice
You will continue to pay and be given shit long and hard
And you will like it
Dear God, Biden reading from
Note cards
Please make it go away

So let’s just get this straight right now. Regardless of what this retarded pedophile says, Hamas is Gaza’s elected government. They do represent the people of Gaza, in quite a literal sense. Now, of course because he has no moral grounding, the pedophile wants to reward the terrorist attack with $100 million in “aid” money that they can plunder just like they did the UN aid. I knew that pedophile would embarrass us, now it seems he wants to import more terrorists than have found their way accross the Rio Grand that the pedophile has left wide open and may as well have posted a huge ‘Welcome” sign on…
I really want to see video of when Netanyahu tells the pedophile piece of shit to shove it up his ass, the attack will commence as planned and there will be no humanitarian aid from Israel to the terrorists.
Bai-Den Chow is assho.
Well imagine that. Biden said that Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people. Duh! The Palestinians voted Hamas into power you dumbs***. Now it is OK to contest that election? Just goes to show you can’t have a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
Biden: Hamas controls Gaza, not the Palestinians..
Reporter: So who is the $100 million in aid money going to?
Biden: To those in control of Gaza.
Reporter: So we are giving 100 million more to Gaza and it is going to those in control and Hamas is in control, right?
Biden: Right.
Biden looking to play stupid political stunts in the midst of this most serious of events shows what a danger this malevolent retard is to the US and the world.
Biden went out to Israel for two reasons – to look like a wartime President (Traitor Joe thinks people will love him if he’s a wartime President), and to shill for the fake-istinians in Gaza and pay for them to make more mayhem and kill more Israelis.
Traitor Joe is the most dangerous sort of retarded psychopath you can get. This POS never should have been more power than over the handle of a mop or a toilet brush.
Pathetic Jewish dupes in DC singing, not for themselves, but for Gaza ceasefire.
Jewish Voice for Peace. Who else? They will leave and put on their Code Pink shirts next.
Humanitarian aid. So they get rewarded for their barbarism?
What an asshole!
It’s called humanitarian aid, but everyone with two brain cells knows where its gonna go.
The Hollywood Academy allows PriceWaterhouse to oversee their Awards, but Hamas won’t allow anybody near their military bankroll.
From the article:
Given that Hamas has proven itself to be quite adept at stealing every bit of money that ever comes to Gaza, how will we ‘ensure’ that this doesn’t happen with the new aid? Hamas has no problem intimidating (or worse) those who stand against them. The UN auditors and workers in Gaza are completely on their side. The US workers we’d assign also will be on their side (or else Hamas won’t let them in).
This is a shambolic fraud. It’s giving money away to evil people. It’s designed to cover our real intentions, which is to force Israel to back down.
Dementia Joe is the useful idiot of islamic terrorists.
Iran and Hamas are smiling.
What Hamas did was violent, amoral, and evil. The Gazans enabled and continue to enable Hamas to work its evil ways. They should be stamped out … or sometime about 2023, they’ll inflict their terror on INNOCENT people again. That is all.
2053, not 2023
They literally voted for Hamas to lead them
To be fair, Brandon really doesn’t represent the American people.
The PLO has promised over $3,000,000 to the families of the terrorists that beheaded babies, raped women and girls, burned people alive then took 200 hostages including Americans. Now Brandon is going to give them more money. Seriously, wtf? We are being ruled by unserious people that hate America
I was trying to forget how horrible Joe Biden is. But this story helps remind me:
Let’s go, Brandon!
Unlike Joey, Hamas was VOTED IN in a fair election according to the Carter Center watching the vote. By definition, HAMAS does indeed represent the Palestinians – at least those in Gaza
The Gaza people voted to make Hamas their leaders. In all articles and comments it should not be “Hamas” but “Gaza” since they are one. This is one country, Gaza, that attacked another, Israel. The USA should not give money to any foreign country and only $1 per year to the UN until our debt is gone.
We have two CVBG’s [aircraft carrier battle groups] and an amphibious assault group either off of Israel or en-route. They are under the command of Biden and whichever Leftists are controlling Biden.
Which of these two missions do you think that Biden has in mind for them given his demands on Israel?
a) Protecting Israel from HAMAS and Hezbollah attack?
b) Preventing Israel from successfully defending itself from HAMAS and Hezbollah attacks, while reinforcing and financing HAMAS and Hezbollah with American tax dollars?
When we forced Israel to turn the water back on to Gaza a few days ago, just before it would have become critical enough to affect HAMAS control of Gaza; I was pretty sure which of the two was American policy.
I don’t think Israel will give in, and so interesting times are upon us.
Subotai Bahadur
Perhaps more importantly in an immediate sense, we made them turn the water back on BEFORE Hamas released the hostages.
As to the US force in the area, I don’t think they will be doing anything but burning petroleum products or exciting atoms sailing in big circles, or gator squares for the amphibs. Their mission for the moment would be “Presence”.
UPDATE: 10-19-23 1222 hrs.
We now can be sure of which mission is the real one. On the noon news just a few minutes ago, back in DC Biden said that he had instructed Israel to end the blockade of supplies to Gaza for “humanitarian reasons”. Israel has obeyed and lifted the blockade at the Rafah border crossing in southern Gaza. A lot of trucks of what I assume are US and Iranian paid for aid are lined up on the Egyptian side of the border there [I am also assuming including a lot of 7.62 Russian and 5.56 Nato (all those US weapons abandoned in Afghanistan)], however they cannot move yet because the roadway had been interdicted since early in the war and has to be repaired. Biden says he also told Israel not to do anything that could widen the conflict.
Israel’s prospects of surviving by conventional means are being deliberately foreclosed.
Subotai Bahadur
Let’s send them money instead of supplies. I’m sure it won’t go to terrorism.
I liked how they slipped and said “and this time we will make sure that the money goes to the intended people.” ooooops
“And we will have mechanisms in place so this aid reaches those in need – not Hamas or terrorist groups.”
Like how? Who will get their hands on that money? I say it will be lost one way or another, but doubt Biden cares as he figures he’s made a nice impression on his insane left base.
Your tax money at work.
Hamas is the elected government of Gaza,
Hamas is a declared terrorist organization.
18 U.S. Code § 2339C – Prohibits the financing of terrorism.
Taylor Act prevents aid to Palestine until they stop paying stipends to families of dead terrorists.
So how in the hell has Biden already given $360M to Palestine and just promised to reward Hamas for attacking Israel by giving them another $100M?
Solution to the above.
US gives the aid money to Israel. Let them disburse it to the Palestinians in need.
Win – Win
The reason it’s legal is that Biden has not given one cent to the PA or to Hamas. All the money goes to third parties who are supposed to aid people in the territories directly, bypassing their governments. At least that’s the theory. On the ground things don’t always work out that way; e.g. all the fuel Hamas just stole from the UNRWA — or the fact that the UNRWA is staffed with terrorist supporters who use the money to take care of things that the terrorists would otherwise have had to do, so they can use their money for more important things like paying terrorists. Or e.g. the way Hamas dug up the pipelines to make rockets, thus getting the benefit of aid that wasn’t supposed to go to them.
Biden’s trip accomplished zero and is proof that talk is cheap. No hostages were freed Israel remains under bombardment from Hamas and Hezbollah with severe restraints on what it should do militarily and Hamas gets a multi million dollar gift while Israelis are told not to be enraged and consumed by someone who suggested bribing Iran after 9-11 and who opposed taking the raid that took out Bin Laden
In Palestine “allahu akbar” means “10% for the Big Guy”.
Is Congress going to put a stop to this? I have very little hope that they will – but they definitely should. We have an obligation to Israel, not Gaza.
Imagine if George Bush had told 9/11 victims families to donate to Al Qaeda.
This is that bad.
