U.S. President Joe Biden suggested Israel was not responsible for a deadly blast at a Gaza City hospital that left hundreds dead and spiked tensions across the Middle East.

¡°I¡¯m deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in Gaza yesterday. And based on what I¡¯ve seen that appears as though it was done by the other team, not you,¡± Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shortly after arriving in Tel Aviv on Wednesday.

Biden added that there were ¡°a lot of people out there not sure¡± about who was responsible, and that the leaders had work to do to convince skeptics who believed Israel was to blame.
