Jerusalem. The summit between US President Joe Biden and Arab leaders in Amman, Jordan has been canceled after the massive explosion in the hospital in Gaza. This “has an impact on US diplomatic efforts to garner support for Israel’s right to defend itself.” Hundreds of people are feared dead in the hospital blast. Hamas and Israel have blamed each other for the incident.
Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi has announced that Biden’s scheduled summit on Wednesday in Amman with Jordan’s King Abdullah, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has been canceled. Biden is supporting Israel’s retaliatory action against Gaza’s attack on Israel on October 7 by eliminating Hamas. More than 1,300 people were killed in the attack and it is reported that 200 to 250 Israelis were taken hostage to Gaza.
Hamas has blamed Israeli air strikes for Tuesday’s explosion at Gaza’s Al Ahli hospital. At the same time, Israel denied these allegations and said that the explosion occurred due to wrong rocket firing by the Islamic organization. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh blamed the US for the attack, saying it had protected Israel for its aggression. The massacre at the hospital confirms the enemy’s cruelty and its sense of defeat, Haniyeh said in a televised address. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey also accused Israel of bombing the Al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza City.
However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed “brutal terrorists in Gaza” for the deaths. Netanyahu said in a statement, the whole world knows that those who attacked the hospital in Gaza are the brutal terrorists from Gaza, and not the IDF (Israel Defense Forces). He said, those who mercilessly killed our children are also killing their own children. Israeli President Isaac Herzog has described Hamas’s allegations as a bloody conspiracy to discredit him. Herzog said Islamic Jihad’s missiles killed scores of Palestinians in a hospital in Gaza, a place where lives should be saved. At the same time, Hamas has rejected these allegations.
