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’ll take what the president says as the stance of the US government, and I don’t think that’s remotely unreasonable…
If he’s making mistakes with off the cuff remarks, then he needs to stop making off the cuff remarks.
It’s certainly more likely to be the correct way if looking at it than it was a few short years ago.
Well, the president is stopping short of saying it was Hamas yet, so there you go.
Nobody thinks it was Hamas. Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) is a different Iran-supported group.
No one from the US government has said it was anyone…
Just “it doesn’t look like Israel is responsible”
Yet people are acting like it’s undeniable proof…
Good enough for me.
A week ago Biden said he saw beheaded babies
The same people who jumped on the Israel definitely bombed that hospital bandwagon are now so sure that nothing short of 100% proof could ever sway them
Biden’s been making stupid off the cuff remarks since the 80s, it’s practically what he’s known for.
He does it almost constantly. The Democratic party would owe a great debt to anyone who can find a way to keep him from going off script.
