A report by the New York Times revealed that "Israel" has requested $10 billion in emergency aid from the US in response to the Palestinian resistance operation. 

Late on Monday night, it was reported that the White House is preparing a support package that includes aid for "Israel," along with assistance for Ukraine, funding for strengthening the US-Mexico border, and aid for Taiwan.

This follows a statement by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday, where he mentioned that Washington was reviewing Israeli appeals for extra military assistance to support its genocide in the Gaza Strip.

Last week, a US official informed Sputnik that a decision had not been reached in Washington regarding the inclusion of assistance for Ukraine and Taiwan in a supplementary funding request being prepared for submission to Congress to secure additional aid for "Israel."

US Army Secretary Christine Wormuth indicated that the US military would require further support from Congress to provide security assistance to Ukraine and "Israel."

On another note, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan stated on Sunday that a new weapons package for "Israel" and Ukraine will be significantly over $2 billion.

US President Joe Biden is due to visit the occupied Palestinian territories on Wednesday to meet with Israeli officials, Blinken stated earlier today.

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

He mentioned that the US President will discuss with Israeli officials to 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 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.
