Grandpere’s love builds a Viking ship in West Pubnico | SaltWireGAZA - U.S. President Joe Biden flies to Israel on Wednesday to signal support for its war against Hamas after a deadly blast at a Gaza City hospital inflamed tensions and led to the cancellation of his planned summit with Arab leaders.
Regardless of who was responsible or how many may have died, the incident has inflamed a region already in crisis since Hamas carried out an Oct. 7 cross-border rampage against communities in southern Israel in which at least 1,300 people died. In one sign of the fraught situation facing Biden, Jordan canceled a planned summit with the U.S. president, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Abbas canceled plans to meet Biden after the hospital blast.
Biden will meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli war cabinet seeking to get a sense of Israel's plans and aims, Kirby said.
