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.

    Al jazeera is one of the most credible and reliable news agencies in the world. It’s nothing like rt or China daily and certainly better than anything US has. But obviously one should not go to al jazeera for news about the middle east.

      Certainly never listen to any of their Arabic reporting. You might be in for a shocker.
