Israel-Hamas war: Palestinians blame an Israeli air strike for the hospital blast, Israel blames Islamic Jihad militant group
“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,” Mr Biden added.
But after the hospital blast, Jordan cancelled the second half of Mr Biden’s itinerary: a planned summit in Amman with the leaders of Jordan, Egypt and the Palestinian Authority. US president Joe Biden, speaking upon arriving in Israel, has appeared to blame Hamas for a Gaza hospital blast, saying"the other team" was responsible.
“The hospital was full of dead and wounded, dismembered bodies, and dead,” he told Reuters. “We tried to save whoever can be saved but the number was too big for the hospital team to be able to save ... We saw them alive but we couldn't help them and they were martyred.” Palestinians were convinced the explosion was an Israeli attack, with no warning for civilians to leave a hospital that was being used as a shelter by thousands of Gazans already made homeless by Israeli bombing.
Palestinian security forces fired tear gas and stun grenades to disperse antigovernment protesters in the West Bank city of Ramallah, seat of Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas, one of the Arab leaders who cancelled meeting Mr Biden.
