Early this morning he delivered remarks on israels conflict with hamas and the humanitarian crisis in the wartorn region. The trip is being called his most critical diplomatic visit of his presidency. The president said he supports the two state solution and the pursuit of peace, but began his remarks with a simple message, you are not alone. You are not alone. You are not alone. As long as the United States stands , and it will stand forever, we will not ever let you be alone. You must keep pursuing peace and pursuing a path so that israel and the Palestinian People can both live safely and insecurity and dignity and peace. For me, that means the two state solution. Shortly after president bidens remarks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would allow humanitarian aid into gaza. But only through the egypt border. In a statement, netanyahu listed the caveats, deliveries can only consist of food, water and drugs to civilians and for aid not to reach hamas, they will allow humanitarian help to israel only , when hamas releases all hostages. The stakes of the visit were ratcheted up following a massive explosion that killed hundreds of at a gaza hospital.

The Palestinian Foreign ministry calling it a, cold blooded massacre. They say close to 500 people were killed. In a missile strike.

S. Defense department. Today we expect u. N. Security council to have an emergency meeting to address the blast. And we has the latest. Reporter president biden, once again promised full u. S. Support during meetings with israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and is war cabinet. As long as the United States stands, we will stand forever, we will not let you be alone.

Reporter the president s trip to israel comes just hours after a massive explosion at a gaza hospital, both sides are blaming each other for the attack that left hundreds of palestinians dead. Based on the information we have seen today it appears the result of an errant rocket fired by a terrorist group in gaza.

With 1400 israel is dead, and hamas Still Holding about 200 hostages, including women and children, netanyahu remains defiant. Civilization will prevail. For peace and security. In our region and in the world. Reporter anger is spreading across the region. In the jordanian capital, protesters tried to storm the israeli embassy.

We cannot allow our grief about the deaths of israelis to become used as a weapon to murder palestinians. Because that is not jewish values. Reporter they are calling for an immediate ceasefire saying the u. S. Government is playing the wrong role. The root cause of the violence in the middle east is israels apartheid state and continuing occupation. Of the Palestinian People. Reporter standing in a large crowd, all she could do is pray. It is so far away but so close to her heart. Tell me what peace means to you . Peace means to me that , like, no violence, basically. Basically, no violence anywhere.
