US President Joe Biden said on Friday that the United States is leading international efforts to deliver more humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Biden indicated in his speech that a 6-week ceasefire would return the hostages and alleviate the unbearable humanitarian crisis, noting that his country's administration is working non-stop to reach an immediate ceasefire.

He added: There are homes, neighborhoods and cities in Gaza that have been destroyed and families without food, water and medicine, and this is a heartbreaking matter. Girls and boys have become orphans due to the war, and about two million Palestinians are under bombardment or have become displaced.

He continued: Israel must allow more aid to enter Gaza and ensure that humanitarian workers are not caught in the crossfire.

He pointed out that he would direct the US military to lead an emergency mission to establish a temporary naval pier in the Mediterranean Sea on the coast of Gaza, stressing that there would be no American forces on the ground and that the naval pier would allow a huge increase in the amount of aid to Gaza.

The US President said: The temporary pier on the Gaza coast will be able to receive large ships carrying food, water, medicine, and temporary shelters.

Biden added: I tell Israel's leaders that humanitarian assistance cannot be a secondary matter or a bargaining chip.

He continued: I tell Israel's leaders that protecting and saving innocent lives must be a priority.

He continued: The only real solution as we look toward the future is the two-state solution, and I say that as a supporter of Israel for life.
