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.
I get the cynicism, but you have to trust someone. The DOD for all its faults has vastly more credibility than Hamas.
It’s more that from what I’ve seen that’s pubmically available and both sides reactions to the incident I’m inclined to believe it was Israel.
