The President of the United States, Joe Biden, stated this Wednesday (18) that he believes that Israel is not behind the attack on the Al-Ahli Arabi Baptist Hospital, in the city of Gaza, based on data from the US Department of Defense.
This follows Biden’s comments about the explosion on Wednesday, when he said, “It looks like it was done by the other team,” during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The US president did not say what he based his comment on. Before leaving for Israel, according to a US official, the government had not yet reached a conclusion about the origin of the rocket attack on the hospital. Biden has instructed his national security team to continue evaluating the information they receive.
A CNN asked the White House whether the US government has further assessed the cause of the explosion since the president’s departure.
Authorities in Gaza said Israel was behind the deadly hospital explosion, while the Israel Defense Forces said its intelligence showed a “failed rocket launch” by the Islamic Jihad group.
