American alliances are what keep us, America, safe,& said Biden, Reuters reported.Biden sought to link Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip who attacked Israel to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose forces invaded Ukraine in February 2022.&Hamas and Putin represent different threats, but they share this in common: They both want to annihilate a neighboring democracy,& he said.Biden will ask Congress for $100 billion in new spending, including $60 billion for Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel, a source familiar with his plan told Reuters.

The request will also include $10 billion for humanitarian aid, $14 billion for border security and $7 billion for the Indo-Pacific region, the source said.Half of the $60 billion Biden is requesting for Ukraine would go toward replacing and modernizing U.S.

weapons stocks, the source said.Biden spoke about 20 hours after returning from a whirlwind trip to Israel to show U.S.

solidarity after the Oct.

7 attack by Hamas militants who launched incursions from Gaza and killed 1,400 people in southern Israel.Biden&s message carries some urgency.

Israel is poised to launch a ground offensive to root out Palestinian Hamas militants from Gaza and tensions are at a fever pitch after a deadly blast at a Gaza hospital.

Already Israel&s counterattack has killed thousands of Palestinians, local authorities say.Biden said Israel was not responsible for the hospital blast, as Hamas officials had asserted, and said: &We can&t ignore the humanity of innocent Palestinians who only want to live in peace and have opportunity.&As global protests grow about the attacks on Gaza, Biden urged Israelis not to give in to &blind rage& as they respond to Hamas.The Republican National Committee accused Biden of coddling Iran after his speech.
