Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Starting with US President Joe Biden, who announced that his counterpart, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, agreed to open the Rafah border crossing with Gaza to allow the entry of a first batch of humanitarian aid trucks into the Gaza Strip. Joe Biden told reporters after his phone call with his Egyptian counterpart from aboard the presidential plane during his return from a visit to Israel, where he expressed his solidarity with Tel Aviv or Israel after the Hamas attacks on October 7, that Sisi “agreed... to allow the passage of up to 20 trucks as a start.” ". He added during the presidential plane's stop in Germany during its return trip to Washington that these trucks will most likely not cross before Friday because the road around the Rafah crossing needs repairs.

He explained that the United Nations will distribute this aid within the Gaza Strip, noting that the entry of a second batch depends on “how things go.” US President Joe Biden warned the Hamas movement, which controls the Gaza Strip, that if it “seizes (aid) or prevents its passage (...) the matter will be over.” In Egypt, a statement issued by the Egyptian presidency said that Sisi discussed with Biden ways to facilitate the urgent entry of “humanitarian aid to Gaza.”

The statement said that the concerned authorities in the two countries are coordinating with international humanitarian organizations under the supervision of the United Nations to secure the arrival of aid, and to agree to bring humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing in a sustainable manner. The White House indicated that Joe Biden and Sisi agreed to work closely to encourage an “urgent and strong” response to a humanitarian appeal launched by the United Nations related to the conflict between Tel Aviv or Israel and Hamas.

The two presidents also agreed on the need to maintain stability in the Middle East and prevent escalation of the conflict, as well as reaffirming their commitment to the strategic partnership between the two countries.

In a parallel context, US President Joe Biden intends to ask Congress to approve an aid package of $100 billion for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and to address the migration crisis at the US-Mexico border, according to what an informed source told Agence France-Presse on Tuesday. The request, which has not yet been announced by the White House, comes at a time when the work of Congress is still suspended due to the failure to elect a Speaker of the House of Representatives. Where the majority is in the hands of Republicans.

Bloomberg News Agency was the first to report the package that Biden intends to request, which aims to unite the ranks of Democrats, who have been requesting additional aid for Kiev for weeks, and Republicans, who want, above all else, funding to address the migration crisis at the border between the United States and Mexico. On Tuesday, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer announced that he is working on a major aid package for Tel Aviv or Israel. He indicated that the package would include “military, diplomatic, humanitarian and intelligence support,” expressing his hope that it would be adopted “in the coming weeks.”
