US President Joe Biden has postponed his visit to Jordan after a deadly strike on a Gaza hospital and will only go to Israel on his Middle East trip, the White House said Tuesday.
Biden decided after "consulting" with Jordan's King Abdullah II and "in light of the days of mourning" announced by Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, who was due at the summit along with Egypt's president, the White House said in a statement.
"The president sent his deepest condolences for the innocent lives lost in the hospital explosion in Gaza, and wished a speedy recovery to the wounded," the statement added.
US President Joe Biden said Tuesday he was "outraged and deeply saddened" by a deadly explosion on a Gaza hospital, for which Hamas and Israel have traded blame.
Biden had "directed my national security team to continue gathering information about what exactly happened", he added in a statement
