WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is considering a trip to Israel in the coming days, but nothing has been finalized. That’s according to a senior administration official who spoke Sunday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. A trip would send the strongest message yet that the U.S. is behind Israel following the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas. The administration has already pledged military support, sending U.S. aircraft carriers to the region as well as aid. Officials have said they would ask Congress for upward of $2 billion in aid for both Israel and Ukraine.
