US President Joe Biden will visit occupied Palestinian territories on Wednesday to meet with Israeli officials, Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated.

Blinken spoke to the press after an extensive meeting with Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"The president [Biden]will reaffirm United States solidarity with Israel and our ironclad commitment to its security," Blinken said after the meeting in "Tel Aviv".

He mentioned that the US President will discuss with Israeli officials means to further arm the occupation forces, adding that the Biden administration continues "to work with Congress to meet those needs."

The Secretary of State also said that Washington has secured assurances from "Israel" on bringing foreign assistance to the Gaza Strip.

The out-of-touch remark comes as the US continues to funnel in bombs for the occupation forces to drop on civilians in Gaza. The US has also transferred two aircraft carriers to the Eastern Mediterranean, which is evidence of its unconditional support to the occupation government that has murdered more than 850 children since October 7. 

Later on Wednesday, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said that Biden will also travel to Jordan to meet with King Abdullah II, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.

US Marine rapid response force heads to occupied Palestine

Moreover, regarding the US military backing of "Israel", a US Marine rapid response force is heading to waters off the coast of occupied Palestinian territories, an unnamed defense official told CNN.

The 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) was deployed alongside the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group. Originally, the group was deployed to the Gulf in order to "secure international maritime traffic" following continued aggressive US measures against Iran. 

The force consists of 2,000 Marines and sailors and is expected to provide the needed cover for "Israel" as it continues to massacre Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

According to CNN, the rapid response force sends "a message of deterrence to Iran" and seeks to prevent allies of the Palestinian Resistance from confronting the Israeli occupation.

The defense official told the news network that it is still unclear if US troops will be deployed into occupied territories, however, they are expected to be stationed in the Red Sea and be prepared for such orders.

Officials affiliated with parties within the Axis of Resistance, such as Hezbollah, have said that increased US military presence in the region will not deter them from confronting "Israel" if need be.

"Israel" has been mulling a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip following a humiliating defeat on October 7 and continued confrontations in its aftermath which have left at least 289 of its soldiers and officers dead.

Late on Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stressed that "the time for these American messages is coming to an end."

The top diplomat warned the Israeli-US alliance against killing any children and women "before it's too late instead of sending hypocritical messages."

He also reiterated that Iran does not give orders to Resistance factions, underscoring their autonomy in terms of taking action against "Israel".

"If the continuation of war crimes is not stopped and the world does not witness the immediate cessation of crimes, other fronts will be opened."
