A deadly explosion at a hospital in the Gaza Strip that killed nearly five hundred people “appears to have been a mistargeted rocket fired by a jihadist group,” said US President Joe Biden, speaking to the media after arriving in Israel’s Tel Aviv for an emergency visit. “We will support Israel and provide humanitarian aid to the suffering Palestinians,” the American president pledged.
Following the October 7 attacks on Israeli villages and military bases bordering the Gaza Strip, Biden arrived in Tel Aviv today amid tight security.
The US President said that the United States stands unquestionably to protect civilian life in conflicts, and that he personally grieves for the families of those killed or injured in this tragedy, and that the United States will provide $100 million in new funding for humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. .
The American President further said that Israel, a democratic state, should be under the rule of law and not under the auspices of terrorism.
