Ahead of a meeting with the Israeli government\u2019s security cabinet, he called for \u201clife-saving capacity to help the Palestinians who are innocent, caught in the middle of this\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>While noting that 31 Americans had been among the people killed by Hamas\u2019s attack, he added: \u201cWe also need to bear in mind Hamas does not represent all the Palestinian people and has brought them only suffering.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Netanyahu praised Biden for his \u201cmoral clarity\u201d and \u201csteadfast commitment to provide Israel with the tools we need to defend ourselves\u201d, as he compared the Hamas attack that precipitated the war to \u201c20 9\/11s\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli prime minister added: \u201cThe civilised world must unite to defeat Hamas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Israel has blamed the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group for the explosion, Palestinian officials say the cause was an Israeli air strike that killed hundreds of people.<\/p>\n<p>The Palestine Red Crescent Society said the hospital was packed with women, children, healthcare professionals and internally displaced people seeking shelter.<\/p>\n<p>The Israel Defense Forces said on Wednesday that an internal probe had concluded that a rocket launched from a cemetery near the hospital just before the explosion had misfired and crashed into a car park adjacent to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>It said the rocket warhead, coupled with its propellant fuel, then ignited, causing the explosion. The IDF also released mobile phone audio purportedly containing a conversation between \u201cHamas operatives\u201d that acknowledged the failed rocket launch.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, Arab leaders throughout the region have blamed Israel.<\/p>\n<p>After news of the explosion broke late on Tuesday, Jordan cancelled the summit that King Abdullah had planned to host for Biden, Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas. <\/p>\n<p>Abbas pulled out of the summit and announced a three-day mourning period for what he called \u201ca great calamity and a heinous war crime\u201d, in remarks quoted by the Palestinian Wafa news agency. Protests broke out in Ramallah and other parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n<p>The United Arab Emirates condemned what it called \u201cthe Israeli attack\u201d. Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Jordan also blamed Israel for the explosion, which King Abdullah labelled a \u201cmassacre\u201d and war crime.<\/p>\n<p>The hospital is in the northern part of Gaza, which Israel has been bombarding heavily ahead of a widely expected ground incursion. <\/p>\n<p>Israel has laid siege to Gaza and told people to evacuate the territory\u2019s north last week, in a mass displacement order that affected about 1mn people, or nearly half the territory\u2019s population. Aid agencies have raised alarm about what they say is a major humanitarian crisis as Palestinians flee south.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s bombardment of the densely populated coastal enclave has killed 3,300 people, according to Palestinian health officials. <\/p>\n<p>Israel says its goal is to eliminate Hamas\u2019s leadership from Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>The country declared war after the Hamas attack, which killed more than 1,400 people according to Israeli authorities, mostly civilians in communities bordering the territory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/3168166a-4d0b-429f-88b4-be8d6dd36db9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlock the Editor\u2019s Digest for free Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
