Biden speaks from Israel after Gaza hospital blast kills hundreds: Live updates

President Biden is visiting Israel on Wednesday in the wake of a strike on a Gaza hospital that left hundreds dead.

Palestinian and Israeli officials are exchanging blame for the attack, which has already impacted Biden’s trip, with Jordan calling off a four-way summit with Biden and regional leaders.

Biden is meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials, as he seeks to reaffirm U.S. support while also avoiding a wider war in the region.

Israel’s military is expected to launch a ground invasion into Gaza in the days ahead, aiming to take out the Hamas militant group after its bloody assault on Israel earlier this month. Iran has repeatedly warned this week of an escalation if Israel’s attacks on Palestinians continue.
