US President Joe Biden has told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he believed the nation’s assurances that it was not responsible for the strike on al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City on Tuesday night.
“Based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you,” he assured the Israeli leader on Wednesday on a visit to Israel.
Biden said he was “deeply saddened and outraged” by the incident, which has claimed over 500 lives, according to Palestinian officials.
