Biden makes wartime visit to Israel

President Joe Biden said Wednesday it appears Israel was not responsible for a hospital blast in Gaza City that killed hundreds of people.

“Based on what I've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you," Biden said at the start of a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shortly after arriving in Tel Aviv.

But Biden stressed that "a lot of people out there" aren't sure of who caused the blast and added, "We've got to overcome a lot of things."

Biden, arriving Wednesday at Ben-Gurion International Airport, embraced Netanyahu as he embarked upon a hastily planned trip intended to demonstrate support for America’s closest ally in the Middle East while trying to prevent the Israel-Hamas war from expanding into a larger conflict.
