New Delhi: US President Joe Biden has given a big statement during his visit to Israel. He has said that it does not seem that Israel is behind the blast in the hospital in Gaza. Biden said, he thinks some other team is behind this attack.
Joe Biden, who reached Tel Aviv, addressed a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. During this, he said that he is deeply saddened by the explosion that took place in Gaza yesterday. But according to what they have seen so far, they do not think that this attack was carried out by Israel.
US President Biden has told Netanyahu that the bombing of Al Ahli Baptist Hospital was not done by you but by another team (Hamas). However, neither the Israeli PM nor Joe Biden has presented any evidence regarding this yet. More than 500 people have lost their lives in this attack.
Biden began his remarks by telling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that I wanted to come here today for a simple reason. I want the people of Israel and the people of the world to know where the United States stands. I wanted to come personally and make this clear.
Biden insisted that the terrorist group Hamas killed more than 1,300 people, including 31 Americans. They have taken many people including children hostage. He said, just imagine what those children hiding from Hamas must be thinking. It is beyond my comprehension to imagine what they were thinking.’ The evils and atrocities they have committed, he said, make ISIS look somewhat more rational.
Biden consoled, “Americans are grieving with you, they really are.” The Americans are worried, because they know that what you have to do is not easy in this area.
The US President further said, Israel is responding to the attacks on itself. I feel like [we] need to continue to make sure that you have the things you need to protect yourself and we will make sure that happens. Biden also said that Hamas does not represent all the Palestinian people and has only caused them suffering.
Biden said, I am deeply saddened and angry by the explosion that occurred at the Gaza hospital yesterday and based on what I have seen, it appears that it was done by another team, not you. He publicly supported Israel’s version of events.
