"Biden Condemns Hospital Blast in Israel, Blames Militants"

President Joe Biden arrived in Israel and expressed solidarity with Israel in its conflict with Hamas, supporting Israel's claim that a blast at a Gaza hospital was caused by militants. Palestinian officials blamed an Israeli airstrike for the explosion, while Israel attributed it to a failed rocket launch by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group. The blast disrupted Biden's diplomatic mission, as Arab leaders canceled their planned summit with him. The scenes of destruction at the hospital were devastating, with conflicting death tolls reported. Biden's trip aims to calm the region and demonstrate U.S. support for Israel, but tensions remain high.
