President Joe Biden was asked by a reporter in Israel on Wednesday what made him confident that the Israelis weren’t behind the explosion that killed hundreds at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.

Biden responded that it was “the data I was shown by my Defense Department.”

Two U.S. officials told ABC News the Pentagon independently concluded the Gaza hospital blast was likely caused by an errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that fell short of its target.

    Hamas is the closest thing to a real government that Palestine has. Hamas has stated a willingness to accept a 2 state solution, they used to want all the land back but now they just want peace. Some countries like NZ take the time to differentiate between Hamas (not terrorists, political arm) and Qassam Brigades (the terrorist military arm of Hamas).

    As far as I have read PIJ is just terrorist who wanna kill all Israelis.

      Hamas is a violent terrorist group whose sole aim is to visit suffering on Israel and it’s people.

      The Palestinian Authority is the closest thing to a government that Palestine has and, while it’s corrupt and ineffective, it’s leagues better than Hamas which runs Gaza as a violent gang.

      And here we go with the latest attempt at propaganda to make Hamas look like the victims. Yeah, what you said is full of lies. Especially the part about Hamas wanting any kind of solution where Israel exists.

      If they (Hamas) really wants two state solutions he would not have blown up Israel indiscriminately.

      … differentiate between Hamas (not terrorists, political arm) and Qassam Brigades (the terrorist military arm of Hamas).

      So kind of like Sinn Féin vs the IRA, this makes sense.
