Biden turns the "State of the Union" address into a platform for his election campaign. In his speech, Biden focused on what he considered a threat to American democracy at the hands of his rival Trump, without mentioning him by name.
The speech was 6,423 words long, and took more than an hour to deliver. Biden is facing a growing protest within the ranks of his party against the backdrop of his absolute support for Israel. The US President announced new steps to establish a port in Gaza for humanitarian aid, which will include a temporary dock that “will provide the capacity to accommodate hundreds of trucks loaded with aid every day”
