The United States will contribute to the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip as part of a policy to prevent further hostilities between Israel and Hamas, President Joe Biden said Thursday.

“The United States … remains committed to working with the United Nations and other international stakeholders to provide rapid humanitarian assistance, and to marshal international support for the people of Gaza and the Gaza reconstruction efforts,” Biden said at the White House after a cease-fire was announced by the two sides.
