President Biden cancels trip to Jordan after Gaza hospital attack

President Joe Biden on Tuesday canceled a planned stop in Jordan after a visit to Israel in the wake of an explosion at a hospital in Gaza that killed nearly 500 Palestinians.

"After consultations with King Abdullah of Jordan and considering that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has declared a day of mourning (for the victims of the Gaza hospital explosion), President Biden decided to postpone the trip to Jordan and the planned meetings with King Abdullah and The President of Egypt el-Sisi," said a White House official.

"He looks forward to personally consulting with these leaders soon and agreed to remain regularly and directly engaged with each of them over the coming days," the official said. President Biden left on Tuesday evening for Israel, where he will express the support of the United States for Israel in the fight against Hamas militants. After visiting Israel, President Biden planned to go to Jordan for meetings with King Abdullah, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

A massive explosion Tuesday at a Gaza City hospital filled with wounded and other Palestinians seeking refuge killed hundreds, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said. Officials of the militant group Hamas said the blast was caused by an Israeli airstrike, while the Israeli military said the hospital was hit by a rocket fired by Palestinian militants.

Hundreds of Palestinians have taken shelter in al-Ahli and other hospitals in Gaza City in recent days to try to escape shelling after Israel ordered all residents of the city and surrounding areas to evacuate to the southern Gaza Strip. .

Hamas, which is responsible for the Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel that killed 1,400 people and has long refused to recognize the state of Israel, said "the international community and Arab and Islamic countries must take their responsibilities and intervene immediately to stop the occupation and the fascist army (of Israel)".

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi issued a statement on Tuesday, saying he "condemns the Israeli attack on the hospital in Gaza", which he called "a clear violation of international laws".

The White House said that during the visit to Israel, President Biden will reiterate that Hamas does not support the Palestinian people's right to dignity and self-determination and will discuss the humanitarian needs of civilians in the Gaza Strip.
