Tel Aviv, October 18: President Joe Biden said Wednesday that an explosion at a Gaza Strip hospital appears to not have been caused by Israel.

“Based on what I've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you,” Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a meeting. But Biden said there were “a lot of people out there” who weren't sure what caused the blast. Joe Biden Israel Visit: US President Arrives in Tel Aviv To Meet Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu As Israel-Hamas War Enters 12th Day (Watch Video).

Explosion Was Done by the Other Team, Not Israel, Says Joe Biden

The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said an Israeli airstrike caused the destruction. The Israeli military denied involvement and blamed a misfired rocket from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, another militant group. However, that organisation also rejected responsibility. Joe Biden Israel Visit: Security Measures Strengthened in Tel Aviv Ahead of US President’s Arrival Amid Israel-Hamas War (Watch Video).
