President Biden landed in Israel this morning as the world waited for evidence of whether a Hamas-linked group or Israel caused a devastating explosion yesterday at a hospital in Gaza City.
The explosion, evidently from a missile, killed hundreds of people and injured hundreds more.
Israeli officials said it was a failed rocket attack by Islamic Jihad, an armed group aligned with Hamas.
After Biden landed, he seemed to endorse Israel’s denial of responsibility.
“Based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you,” he said.
