On Tuesday, US Department of State Spokesperson Ned price said that his country intends to restore humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people reversing former President Donald Trump's decision to suspend such support.
"The United States does intend to restore humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people," Price said. "We're not doing that as a favor, but because it's in the interest of the United States to do so."
Palestinians broke off contacts with Trump's administration and rejected his peace plan as biased towards Israel.
The plan, unveiled a year ago, envisaged recognizing Israeli sovereignty over Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank and Jordan Valley, and Jerusalem remaining Israel's "unpided capital".
It also proposed the creation of a Palestinian state in about 70% of the West Bank, all of Gaza, and with its capital on the fringes of East Jerusalem.
Israel occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war. Most of the international community considers the settlements illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
