Some political analysts say the Al-Ahli Arab hospital explosion likely derails any hoped-for diplomatic deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel. Cinzia Bianco, a researcher focusing on the Gulf at the European Council on Foreign Relations, said she expects a Saudi-Israel deal will be shelved for years. “Right now, it’s politically impossible,” she said. Despite emerging evidence that Israel wasn't responsible for the hospital blast, analysts say it is unlikely to change minds in the Arab world, which largely supports the Palestinians and is hostile to Israel.

President Biden says U.S. defense officials have intelligence that backs Israel's understanding of the cause of the explosion at a hospital compound in Gaza—that the blast came from the Palestinian side. Asked by a reporter what gave him confidence that Israel wasn't behind the explosion, Biden responded, "The data I was shown by my Defense Department." He didn't elaborate. Biden had earlier said, alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, "Based on what I've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you."
