Arab leaders meeting with Biden canceled
Arab world leaders, including Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, have canceled a previously scheduled meeting with US President Joe Biden to protest Israel's airstrike on a hospital in the Gaza Strip.
According to Qatar-based media Al Jazeera, after his visit to Israel on Wednesday (October 18), the US President was scheduled to meet with King Abdullah of Jordan, Egyptian President Al-Sisi and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Amman. But the meeting was canceled after Israel's infernal bombing of Al-Ahlil Hospital in Gaza.
Biden's trip to Jordan has been postponed, and he will now only visit Israel, a White House official said.
Reuters reported that President Abbas was enraged after Israel attacked a hospital in Gaza and decided to return to Ramallah immediately from Jordan.
Meanwhile, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said the previously scheduled meeting with US President Joe Biden has been cancelled, along with Biden's visit. He said, there is no need to talk now except to stop the war. There is no use in meeting at this moment.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey blames Israel for the airstrikes on Gaza's al-Ahli Arab Hospital. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blames Hamas for the deaths.
Benjamin Netanyahu said the whole world knows who is responsible for the attack on the hospital in Gaza. Those who brutally killed our children, they (Hamas) also killed their children.
