Tel Aviv/Channels/Hyderabad, Oct 18 (Maxim News): Visiting US President Joe Biden on Wednesday told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the deadly bombing of a hospital in Gaza City “appears” that it was “done by the other team.”
Biden, who arrived in Tel Aviv earlier in the day marking an extraordinary wartime visit for the first time since Hamas launched its surprise assault on October 7, also said that he was “deeply saddened and outraged” by the bombing of the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital on Tuesday, the BBC reported.
“Based on what I’ve seen it appears as though t was done by the other team, not you. But there’s a lot of people out there who are not sure, so we’ve got to overcome a lot of things,” the president was quoted as saying.
While Palestinian officials have blamed Israel for the incident, Israelis have denied responsibility and said it was due to a failed rocket launch by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Biden also said that it is “not hyperbole” to say that Hamas “slaughtered” 1,300 people, including 31 Americans. Regarding the hostages taken by the Hamas, the President said, “Imagine what those children hiding from Hamas were thinking? It’s beyond my comprehension.”
He told Netanyahu that the US will continue to support Israel, adding that “I’m looking forward to having a discussion about what happens from here’, the BBC reported.
He says the “courage, commitment, and bravery” of the Israeli people is “stunning“. I’m proud to be here.”
On his part, Netanyahu said the “civilized world must unite to defeat Hamas.” in the same way it did when taking down the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group. “We will defeat Hamas and remove this terrible threat from our lives, he said.
Calling Biden a “true friend“, Biden is also scheduled to meet with Israeli first responders as well as “the families of victims and people still missing or taken hostage.” according to the White House. He will also deliver remarks and meet Israeli President Herzog before his departure.
On his flight home, Biden plans to speak with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Egyptian President El-Sisi, in lieu of the scheduled summit in Jordan, which was scrapped after the hospital blast. (Maxim News)
