What will be America’s action plan after Israel visit, Biden will address the country from behind the historic Resolute Desk.

US President Joe Biden will deliver an Oval Office speech in an effort to rally Americans to defend Israel and Ukraine given the crises facing Washington’s allies. US President Biden is due to address the nation less than 24 hours after returning from a high-level solidarity visit to Israel following the deadly October 7 Hamas attack. The Democrat’s primetime speech comes as he prepares to ask Congress, which is paralyzed by divisions among rival Republicans, for a joint $100 billion package that includes money for Ukraine and Israel.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden’s address would relate to Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel and Russia’s ongoing brutal war against Ukraine. It will be only Biden’s second speech from behind the historic Resolute Desk, which presidents reserve for moments of significant national importance. The first case was in June this year when he hailed an agreement to prevent a disastrous US default after a bitter standoff between Democrats and Republicans. There will undoubtedly be talks about America’s interests in Biden’s speech. As he seeks to boost his declining approval ratings, its Oval Office setting reflects the gravity of the global crises he faces.

Russia’s Vladimir Putin said after talks with China’s Xi Jinping in Beijing that world conflicts strengthen the two countries’ ties. The US President faced a dilemma over his wartime visit to Israel. Key Arab allies Jordan and Egypt canceled a meeting they were scheduled to meet in Amman over the deadly attack on a Gaza hospital.
