Biden Expresses Concern Over Hospital Bombing in Gaza During Meeting with Netanyahu
In a
recent bilateral meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S.
President Joe Biden expressed his concerns about the intentional bombing of a
hospital in Gaza. He suggested that it "appears to have been carried out
by the other side, not by you," alluding to Israel's claim that the
Islamic Jihad movement was responsible for the attack.
The
hospital explosion, which occurred in Gaza, has drawn global attention and
condemnation. President Biden conveyed his profound sadness and anger regarding
the incident and noted that it seems the attack was perpetrated by a group
other than Israel.
However,
he also acknowledged the complexity of the situation, highlighting that there
are numerous parties involved, making it challenging to ascertain responsibility
definitively. He emphasized the need to address a multitude of issues in the
ongoing conflict.
The
authorities in Gaza have accused Israel of being behind the deadly hospital
explosion. In contrast, the Israeli military has cited intelligence suggesting
a "failed rocket launch" by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad as the
cause of the blast, resulting in a significant number of casualties.
President
Biden took the opportunity during the meeting to reiterate the United States'
commitment to supporting Israel. He stated, "I wanted to be here today for
a simple reason, which is to let the people of Israel and the world know that
the United States stands with you." The President's personal presence
underscored his commitment to this support.
Furthermore,
President Biden strongly condemned the recent attacks by Hamas on Israel,
asserting that the movement "committed evil and heinous acts that make
ISIS seem somewhat more rational." While recognizing Israel's right to
self-defense, he emphasized the importance of not attributing the actions of
Hamas to all Palestinians, noting that the group has caused immense suffering.
Prime
Minister Netanyahu expressed his gratitude for President Biden's visit, stating
that it marked the first time a U.S. President had visited Israel during a time
of war. He emphasized the profound significance of the visit, showcasing
President Biden's personal commitment to Israel and the future of the Jewish
people.
