"Israel-Hamas Conflict: Latest Updates on Gaza War"

U.S. President Joe Biden met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv and suggested that the Gaza hospital blast, which killed hundreds of people, was caused "by the other team." Biden's visit to Israel is aimed at showing solidarity with the country after a devastating attack by Hamas. His planned trip to Jordan was canceled due to protests following the hospital blast. Israel and Hamas blame each other for the attack. The death toll in Israel stands at over 1,400, while in Gaza, it is over 3,300. British Foreign Minister James Cleverly urged people to wait for the facts regarding the hospital explosion. Pope Francis called for peace in the Israel-Hamas war, and U.S. lawmakers asked the Treasury Department how it plans to address cryptocurrency financing of terrorism. Biden plans to request $100 billion in funding for Israel, Taiwan, Ukraine, and U.S. border security. The U.S. State Department advised against travel to Lebanon due to security concerns. At least 17 journalists have been killed in the conflict, and protests erupted worldwide following the hospital bombing.
