President Biden has landed in Tel Aviv, Israel, where he's set to meet with the nation's leadership Wednesday in a show of support amid Israel's war with Hamas.
A second diplomatic stop to meet with Arab leaders in Jordan was canceled following Tuesday's deadly explosion at a hospital in Gaza City that officials said killed at least 500 people.
The Biden administration's visit is intended to demonstrate US commitment to Israel while addressing high tensions in the region as Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital blast and blame accusations dominate headlines.
Israeli Defense Forces deny hitting a hospital, while Palestinian sources claim an Israeli airstrike was responsible for the explosion, with exact events unconfirmed by an independent source.
Protests in Arab nations and the West Bank erupted after an explosion, demanding justice and an impartial investigation to determine the true cause.
