    Just six days after taking office, the Biden administration took a sharp turn in U.S. policy in the Middle East, announcing it will resume contact with Palestinian leaders and restore U.S. contributions to the U.N. agency which provides aid to Palestinians.

    The changes were announced in before the U.N. Security Council by Richard Mills, acting U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

Mills said it is "the best way to ensure Israel's future as a democratic and Jewish state."
