Biden absolves Israel responsibility of deadly hospital attack

Reporting from Tel Aviv, Israel
When the Americans said that their national security team would investigate the cause of the Gaza explosion on Tuesday night, many thought there will be an extensive inquiry.
But it appears that President Joe Biden has already decided who is behind the deadly attack, expressing in poorly chosen words that the ‘other team’ was responsible.
Biden did express deep outrage at what occurred.
This visit is a significant display of support for the Israelis. By asserting that a misfiring rocket caused the hospital carnage, Biden has effectively given Israel the green light to act as it sees fit.
Biden’s comparison of Hamas to ISIL was a poor choice of words for the President. To suggest that ISIL was more rational was poor. If Donald Trump had made such a statement, it would likely have led to days of outrage.
