The destruction of a hospital in an explosion in Gaza has raised the tension in the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The incident immediately led to the cancellation of a meeting between US President Joe Biden and Arab leaders.
It is still unclear who is to blame for Tuesday’s hospital explosion in Gaza, which Hamas says killed hundreds of people. The parties blame each other for it.
– Israel has now been harassing Gaza for more than ten days and the situation of civilians there is inconsolable, says ‘s foreign correspondent who follows the situation in Israel Teemu Juhola. It is hoped that the aid transports will start through the border crossing point on the Egyptian side.
Diplomacy has continued and the ground attack threatened by Israel has been delayed. The fear is the expansion of war and unrest. There can be several directions in the Middle East and elsewhere.
