Earlier, Israel presented the results of its investigation into the incident, from which it follows that the IDF had nothing to do with the strike, and the rocket that fell on the hospital was launched by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
I am deeply upset by the explosion in a hospital in Gaza yesterday. Based on what I’ve seen, it appears that the other party did this, not you. But many are not so sure, Biden said during a joint news conference on Netanyahu.
Biden came to Israel as a friend, but will pose many tough questions to the government. This is how the White House described the visit.
On the morning of October 18, Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met at Tel Aviv airport. A few minutes after the presidential plane landed in Ben Gurion in southern Israel, an air raid siren sounded.
On Tuesday evening, a rocket hit a clinic in the Gaza Strip. Hundreds of people were killed, the Hamas-controlled Palestinian Health Ministry said. The militants blamed the Israeli army for the attack.
They deny the accusations, saying that it was a missile from the terrorists themselves. Biden’s national security adviser John Kirby said the president could not help but fly to his allies at such a difficult moment for Israel.
At the same time, according to Kirby, although the head of the White House arrived as a friend, he intends to pose a number of tough questions to the Israeli leadership, in particular, on the operation in Gaza and the fate of Palestinian civilians.
