Yes, it is true that President Biden has announced that the United States will be providing $100 million in humanitarian assistance for the Palestinian people. This aid is intended to support more than 1 million displaced and conflict-affected Palestinians, including emergency needs in Gaza and the West Bank. The funding will come from existing emergency funds and will not be subject to congressional scrutiny. The president has also warned Hamas not to steal or divert the humanitarian aid that countries around the world are funneling into the region.
