WASHINGTON, D.C.: US President Joe Biden will give a primetime speech on Thursday about the conflict between Israel and Hamas and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the White House said Wednesday.
Biden will speak at 8 pm in the Oval Office, from which presidents have traditionally addressed the nation at times of critical national importance.'Tomorrow, President Biden will address the nation to discuss our response to Hamas' terrorist attacks against Israel and Russia's ongoing brutal war against Ukraine,' Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.
The US Congress has been paralyzed by the absence of a speaker in the House of Representatives for more than two weeks.And US lawmakers rejected hard-line Republican Jim Jordan's bid for speaker for a second time on Wednesday.But the package is intended to bypass congressional chaos and bring Democrats, who have sought additional aid for Kyiv for weeks, together with Republicans, who want funds to tighten controls on the southern border with Mexico.
