WASHINGTON — Fresh off a visit to Israel following the Hamas terror attack that killed more than 1,300 Israelis, President Joe Biden pitched a $100 billion plan Thursday night to help both that country and Ukraine defend themselves as well as to provide humanitarian relief for the 2 million residents of Gaza.
In it, he drew parallels between Hamas and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to make his case for military help for Israel and Ukraine. “Hamas and Putin represent different threats, but they share this in common: They both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy,” Biden said. “We mourn every innocent life lost. We can’t ignore the humanity of innocent Palestinians who only want to live in peace,” he said.
