Gaza hospital explosion leaves at least 500 dead: Biden meets Netanyahu
가자지구 병원 폭발로 최소 500명 사망 바이든 美 대통령 이스라엘 도착해
Good evening. It’s 9 PM here in Seoul. Thank you for joining us on Arirang News.
We start in Israel, where U.S. President Joe Biden has now landed.
He tells the Israeli leader, that the deadly hospital explosion in Gaza, which killed hundreds of people, seems to have been carried out by the “other team.“
This amid Palestinian claims of it being an Israeli bombing while the Israeli military blames Islamic Jihad.
Song Yoo-jin leads us off.
At least 5-hundred people died following the explosion on Tuesday night at the Al-Ahli al-Arabi hospital in central Gaza.
The hospital was crowded with victims of Israeli airstrikes as well as thousands of displaced people seeking shelter.
Most of the victims are known to be women, children, and refugees.
The Palestinian Health Ministry says many are still under the rubble.
But it’s unclear who’s responsible.
“What happened tonight is a huge tragedy and war massacre that cannot be tolerated or allowed to pass without accountability. Tonight an Israel airstrike hit Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza city.“
“Intelligence from few sources that we have in our hands indicates that the Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza.“
The deadly blast was also brought up during U.S. President Joe Biden’s bilateral meeting on Wednesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv.
Biden told the Israeli leader that the bombing appears as though it was done by the (quote) “other team.“
He arrived in Israel on Wednesday morning on what’s seen as a diplomatic mission to help ease tensions in the region and allow much-needed humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.
After his meeting with Netanyahu, Biden will hold wider talks with Israel’s war cabinet.
According to White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby, Biden will emphasize that he doesn’t want the conflict to widen.
He’ll also address the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
Later in the day, the American leader is scheduled to meet with Israeli first responders, families of the victims, and Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
Biden had originally planned to visit Jordan as well for a four-way summit with King Abdullah the Second, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt, and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
But Jordan canceled the summit shortly after the hospital bombing.
Though his trip to Jordan has been called off, Biden intends to speak with the Middle East leaders on his flight back to Washington on Wednesday night.
