Macron warned Europe to guard against Islamic terrorism
Not Israel, but “the other team” attacked the hospital in Gaza, announced US President Joe Biden, citing evidence of the barbaric attack. The explosion killed hundreds. On Wednesday, Biden was in Israel for an emergency meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza blamed Israel for the blast. However, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it was caused by a failed rocket launch by another Palestinian militant group, Islamic Jihad. She denied being involved. A Gaza civil defense official said more than 400 people were killed in the blast.
On Wednesday morning, the IDF presented evidence that it said clearly showed that there was no crater at the hospital to indicate an airstrike. According to a spokesman, the blast was caused by the warhead and fuel of a failed Islamic Jihad rocket. It is believed to have broken down shortly after being launched from a nearby cemetery. She fell in the parking lot of the medical facility, and the number of victims was high because
the area is crowded with civilians
Upon landing at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, Biden reached out to shake Netanyahu’s hand. Instead, the Israeli prime minister embraced him. The population in the narrow strip lives in ever greater poverty.
“I am deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion of the hospital in Gaza,” said the American leader. From the evidence he was given, it was clear that Israel was not lying. “It appears that the attack was carried out by the other team, not by you, but there are many people who are not sure – it will be difficult to convince them,” Biden addressed Netanyahu.
Trust in Jerusalem is seriously shaken, as the country is famous for refusing to take responsibility for past civilian deaths, including the shooting of Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akle last year. Israel initially blamed Palestinian militants, but later said it was “highly likely” she was killed by an Israeli soldier.
At Tel Aviv airport on Tuesday evening, Olaf Scholz was prevented from flying to Cairo by rocket fire. The German chancellor was quickly taken to a bunker, and his delegation had to leave the plane and hide by lying down on the runway. Dozens of protests erupted across the Middle East after the hospital explosion.
On Wednesday, the Iranian-backed Lebanese movement
“Hezbollah” called for “day of rage”
Dozens of angry protests erupted in Lebanon, Jordan, Libya, Yemen, Tunisia, Turkey, Morocco and Iran. Palestinian security forces in Ramallah used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the demonstrators. They threw stones and chanted against President Mahmoud Abbas. In Lebanon, angry extremists gathered outside the US embassy, and in the Jordanian capital, Amman, they tried to storm the Israeli embassy.
And French President Emmanuel Macron warned Europe to beware of “Islamic terrorism” after two fatal extremist attacks on the continent in the past four days.
