US State Department: We will soon resume humanitarian aid to the Palestinians
A spokesman for the ministry, Ned Price, said that the cessation of aid to the Palestinian people by the previous administration "did not lead to political progress and did not achieve concessions."
He said the United States would encourage other countries in the region to normalize relations with Israel, and stated that his country would talk to its allies before doing so with the Iranians.

US State Department spokesman Ned Price said tonight (Tuesday) that "we plan to rapidly resume humanitarian aid to the Palestinians because it is in the American interest. The cessation of aid to the Palestinian people by the previous administration did not lead to political progress and did not achieve concessions from the Palestinian leadership, but only harmed Palestinian civilians." .
Price added that the United States would encourage "other countries in the Middle East to normalize relations with Israel and look for more opportunities for normalization. At the same time, normalization with Arab states is not a substitute for Israeli-Palestinian peace." Price added that "we have not yet spoken to the Iranians. We first want to talk to our allies in the region."
White House spokeswoman Jen Saki was asked at the daily briefing for reporters if it was not surprising that President Joe Biden had not yet spoken on the phone with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. She replied that "I do not know if it is surprising that less than two weeks from the moment he took office he has not yet spoken to any foreign leader in the world."
