President Joe Biden said Americans urgently need to support Israel and Ukraine with billions of dollars more.

The Democrat gave an unusual speech in the Oval Office, saying that the support of the United States is necessary for the two allies plunged into war.

The president sought to link Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip, who attacked Israel, with Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose forces invaded Ukraine in February 2022.

Sources previously said the amount could include $60 billion for Ukraine and $10 billion for Israel, as well as billions for Asia and U.S. border security.
