During his visit to Israel, President Joe Biden addressed the recent hospital blast, unequivocally attributing it to militant groups operating in the region.
Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Biden said: “I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion of the hospital in Gaza yesterday, and based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you.”
“But there’s a lot of people out there not sure, so we’ve got a lot, we’ve got to overcome a lot of things,” Biden added.
“The world is looking. Israel has a value set like the United States does, and other democracies, and they are looking to see what we are going to do.”
Biden’s trip to the Middle East was supposed to calm the region, even as he demonstrated U.S. support for its ally Israel, which has vowed to annihilate the Hamas movement whose fighters killed 1,400 Israelis in a rampage on Oct. 7.
But after the hospital blast, Jordan cancelled the second half of Biden’s itinerary: a planned summit in Amman with the leaders of Jordan, Egypt and the Palestinian Authority.
The explosion, which occurred in the city of Tel Aviv, has raised concerns about the escalating tensions in the area.
President Biden’s visit to Israel comes at a critical juncture in the ongoing conflict between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants.
The hospital blast, which claimed the lives of several civilians and left many injured, has further strained an already fragile situation.
