US President Biden reaffirmed his support for Israel today during his visit, while Palestinians are still reeling from Israel’s bombing of the al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza on Tuesday, which killed nearly 500 people.
In response to the hospital attack, Turkey declared a three-day mourning period, while Hezbollah called for a day of anger. In the occupied West Bank, a general strike was held.
Hamas published a statement saying that Israel is trying to absolve themselves of any responsibility for the attack, and outlined ‘evidence’ of Israel’s culpability.
The Palestinian death toll has reached 3,478 in Gaza, including 1,000 children, while in Israel the death toll stands at 1,400 people.
