The bombing of the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza that took place last Wednesday occurred when there were already thousands of Palestinian dead and wounded – at least a third of them minors – in the Strip. Local authorities indicated that it was an Israeli attack, but Netanyahu’s government – after a few hours of confusion – ended up denying it.
While that was happening, United States President Joe Biden was flying from Washington to Tel Aviv to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu and publicly show him his unconditional support. If the attack on the Al Ahli hospital came from Israel and it assumed it, the handshake between both leaders was going to be tarnished. The Israeli Government accused Hamas or Islamic Jihad of responsibility. The evidence so far is inconclusive and an independent international investigation will be needed to determine what happened.
