Killed hundreds of innocent civilians. Officials in gaza claim it was an israeli airstrike. The Israeli Military insists it was a Misfire Rocket launched by Palestinian Militants near the hospital. Cnn geolocated this video, this is the moment of blast. This morning President Biden appearing to take israels side. Listen to the president. Deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in gaza yesterday. And based on what i have seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you. But there is a lot of people out there who are not sure. So we have to overcome a lot of things. Shortly before President Biden landed in israel, the Israeli Military laid out evidence blaming the explosion on the Islamic Jihad militant group, including intercepted audio of hamas operatives alleged by talking about the misfired rocket. Despite israels denials, a wave of protests have erupted across the middle east. Lebanon hundreds tried to break through Security Barriers near the u. S. Embassy. Police fired tear gas and water canons to drive them away. We have team coverage. Erin burnett is live in tel aviv. The president , President Biden, has flown into an credibly volatile situation and a very different set of meetings than he expected even 24 hours ago. Reporter he was thinking he would meet with israelis and the arab countries at the center. Mahmoud abbas, King Abdullah and Abdel Fattah El sisi. Those meetings canceled. Kaitlan is with the president and had talk about what he can achieve. But it is these protests in the region that have now risen the stakes. The stakes have gone up and up and the protests are going continue even today in tunisia during the day they started last night 11 00 p. M. Eastern in beirut, amman, baghdad. We have seen them. As you say, phil, they are antiisrael, they are propalestine, and they are increasingly in some cases also antiamerican which is just proof of how closely President Biden is now tied to this. Of course, historically. Of course, always in perception. Showing up at this moment and only meeting with Prime Minister netanyahu with that great embrace, certainly adds to an image that the United States as biden says has israels back and is inextricably linked to whatever israel does next. As we are waiting on biden to speak, that is what is at stake. I know he has been in closed dor meetings, made some comments in between, where are we in his meetings right now . Reporter yeah, just to remind everyone what has transpired since President Biden got on the ground, which he has only been here a few hours, this is not a very lengthy trip for him. Right now he is still meeting with the wartime cabinet, that new cabinet formed by Prime Minister netanyahu. They are talking. One thing the president came here to find out what israels objectives are going to be in the war, if israel goes into gaza, what are their stated goals. Those were the tough questions that the white house, President Biden was going to have for his friend Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while he is here on the ground. We will see what that look like. The other thing that is complicated what was already a challenging trip for this white house is that explosion at the hospital in gaza. And just to set the scene for our viewers, it had not been that long that President Biden had been here on the ground. He had greeted Prime Minister netanyahu. He had embraced him in a hug and then he came here and almost one of his first remarks was about the explosion, embraced israels key niles, said based on what he has seen, quote, it was the other team, not you. Obviously, that was a reference to Prime Minister netanyahu who was sitting next to him. We know the idf blamed a Palestinian Militant Group for this, a terrorist group. That is who they say is to blame. Of course, Authorities In Gaza have said it is the Israeli Defense forces that is to blame. That is something that israel strongly denied. President biden siding with israel in that. Now, we have asked the white house is it evidence that he saw, what made him buy into the denials. They have not yet clarified that statement. But it is an important one that he was making. Of course, netanyahu himself later dethied it. That is an undertone for the entire trip because as you noted it changed what the trip will look like. There is no follow visit to jordan. You can see a lectern behind me. President biden will be here once he finishes up with his meetings today, making remarks, and we will see what is the culmination of this historic visit of which i should note netanyahu said he is the first u. S. President to visit israel while israel was at war. Reporter all right. We are going to await that. Kaitlan is in the room and we will bring all of that to you. The blast on hospital in gaza that disrupted this trip and changed the trajectory of this story, Sparking Mass Protests across the region and raising question marks about where this goes, in jordan tear gas to disburse huge crowds near the Israeli Embassy in amman. I want to go to Clarissa Ward in ashkelon. South of here in israel. This tragic plast at the hospital in gaza, it is and his history of will show what other points come. At this moment this is an Inflection Point in this war . It is an Inflection Point. I think that the hope of President Biden and Secretary Of State Antony Blinken was that they were going to be able to announce some kind of a tangible deliverable in terms of humanitarian aid, opening up a corridor, opening up potentially humanitarian zones as blinken had talked about. There is no longer a strong sense that thats going to be imminently feasible. The fact that President Biden has had his meetings with the egyptian leader, with mahmoud abbas, the palestinian leader, and also with the jordanian king canceled means it becomes all the more challenging to see how on earth there can be any kind of consensus built around how to deal with the humanitarian catastrophe that is playing out in gaza. And as the world is kind of arguing back and forth, he said, she said, fingerpointing, i think it bears reminding our viewers that the situation there is at absolute crisis point. The hospitals are no longer functioning. We have been talking to doctors who are performing operations without anesthesia. We have been talking to aid workers, the u. N. , no water, no electricity, only enough food to potentially last four or five more days. The u. N. Says 600,000 people displaced from their homes in Northern Gaza in the last well, since friday, the announcement was made that by israelis that people in Northern Gaza should leave their homes. Meanwhile, you have seen strikes continuing in southern gaza, making it frightening for people to leave their homes because they dont feel there is anywhere where they can find refuge or respite. And i would say now we hear strikes continuing throughout the day. Very little prospect from any side on kind of budging on sitting down at the table and taking a collective deep breath and trying to Work Together to deliver something in the form of respite for the people who are trapped in there. Many foreign nationals also trapped in there, i should add. The u. S. Embassy in cairo estimates more than 250 americans have been camped out by the rafah Border Crossing for days on end trying po get out. With the situation, with the inflamed tensions, with the protests, of course, you have to take into account that for arab leaders right now it is very difficult to sit down and meet with President Biden if they cant offer some guarantee or something that they can then show to their people and say, look, see . We are fighting for the palestinians as well. So it becomes a really complex issue. A very dangerous potential Inflection Point and the risk, as always, as we have talked about many times with this conflict of this becoming a broader regional conflict, erin. Reporter yes, and clarissa is talking about the explosions. You see the smoke over gaza. And we continue to show it when we see it so everyone understands the con stoont state of Bombardment Gaza is over. Some of those americans, one of them in touch with her family whenever she can, given the power issues at a place of the u. N. Compound, sometimes once every 24 hours, saying that looking where we are right now, two days of water left. Thats the u. N. To give you a sense of the fact this isnt just a humanitarian crisis, is a humanitarian crisis that could be bigger and worse and we are hours away. Something must be done. And Clarissa Ward, thank you so much, in ashkelon. Phil, back to you. Mentioning the acute difficulty complexity on the diplomatic side of things between the president and those canceled meetings with arab leaders, accelerant to that difficulty, that complexity, obviously, the blast the hospital in gaza. Now, at this moment in time we have seen from the idf their rationale for why they were not responsible. You have seen the protests as well of people in the arab world that dont believe that. Cnn has geolocated video that shows the moment of the deadly Hospital Blast in gaza. I will pull it up here because as you can see, as this video plays, the skylights up as a large blast erupts right there on the hospital grounds. It sends a huge crowd of smoke in the air. Cnn cannot independently verify what caused the blast. We are working on that. I want to bring in cnn Military Analyst lieutenantgeneral Mark Hertling the magic wall. Whl you see that in isolation, one of the things we have heard repeatedly from officials that are pointing to the idf say no rocket could make an explosion that big. What do you see there . First, well, start off by saying, phil, i heard the Expression Fog Of War about a hundred times this morning. Aim i am not a bomb analyst. Neither are you. What you see is a very large fiery explosion. Thats not usually something that comes with a Gguided Bomb M an aircraft. What it seems to be and this is just really conjecture on my part, is a rocket that still has fuel onboard. Thats the indicator. The Fuel Propellent that pushes a rocket forward. When it hit the ground, the rocket exploded like they always do when they hit, but there was a lot of fuel in the rocket, too, because it had fallen out of the sky. So you see a very large blast, a fiery blast in a parking lot. To this point and this is one of the pieces of information that we have heard from idf officials in their view or their the evidence they are presenting, which the president , President Biden, seems to agree with at this point, and that is what you are saying the trajectory, right, what they are showing based on their radar footage, these are Rocket Launches or rocket strikes headed towards israel and this is where the hospital was. So the idea this was a malfunction of some sort, how often does that happen . Is that something that happens with the kind of rockets that hamas has or the jihad union has, yes, it happens a lot. They are shipped primarily from iran. They are not good rockets. They are four different types. They go different distances. There are a lot of rocket failures. Israel has said they have seen a lot of rocket failures, over 400 so far. So when you see one fall out of the sky like that, its because the engine cuts off. They are not precision rockets. They are fired out of the back of literally a box. So in this particular one you see a series of rockets coming out of a point of origin. Thats where the rockets allegedly were fired from. There are six or seven lines. That means they are going in different trajectories. This is right over the hospital and there is another film of a rocket going up, the engine cutting off and seconds later you see that explosion on the ground that you just showed. The other issue, and this is one that i have been that struck me, because you heard the idf officials talk about it, the craters. The location of where the rocket landed or where the explosion happened and the scale of both where it hit compared to the hospital, not the hospital directly, but also what it created or what the kind of blast radius was compared to israeli footage showing this is what a crater supposed to look like in one of our strikes. This does not have that. Does that track for you . It does. This is the hospital building, right. As a satellite imagery. This is a parking lot. When we see the cars in that parking lot, most of them are burned. Not all of them. There is not kind of the blast that you would expect from a very large bomb like that coming off an aircraft. It looks like more like a lot of fire, a lot of burning, some shrapnel against the building. Again this is the parking lot. Thats the explosion outside. So evidence seems indicate and these are facts that dont counter emotions, what we have been seeing back and forth all morning long is the emotions on both sides. Hey, weve got the facts versus the opinion. Thats warfare. Unfortunately, thats what always happens in war. You have to contend with it. Yeah, one of the Big Questions President Biden will face after he is done with his mee meetings when he comes to speak what made him conclude based on these issues that you are laying out whether u. S. Intelligence has an assessment we dont know yet. I would say u. S. Intelligence has Additive Intelligence to what to this. And they had or the israelis passed their intelligence as well. Thank you. With us editor and Foreign Affairs come up news for bloomberg, bobby gauche. I want to start with something we heard from one of our Foreign Policy analysts, who has so much experience in the region. She said this sadly could become americas war. This is what President Biden is trying to prevent. What do you think when you hear that as he is there . That would be the perception of a lot of people that weve seen in the Street Scenes that you have been showing in the past couple of hours. That would be the perception, the fact that biden is there, that he seems to be giving israel you know, the perception is he is giving israel cover to do what happened last if that is not the president s intention, it will be seen as america but biden has the opportunity to make it americas peace. How . If he can lean into netanyahu, that private conversation they are having as we speak here, off camera, and persuade netanyahu to hold off on a ground offensive, to allow humanitarian aid to go in, it might just, just its still a very, very heavy lift, but might just show is that the United States is not there just to back up israel, but also to try to bring a resolution to the conflict, to give the people of gaza relief. To get that humanitarian aid. Yes, you need israel for some of the crossings. Also you need egypt. Egypt is waiting. We have seen images of those convoys of humanitarian aid waiting at the border. Egypts made it clear they are not going to take these people. They are not going to take the palestinian refugees. But they are ready to help. And the United States has been leaning on egypt to help. Now, its up to israel substantially to allow that possibility to take a break from the shelling of palestinian targets, to allow people to leave or to allow aid to come in. Thats basically i suspect what biden is pushing for right now. Whether he can persuade Bibi Netanyahu is another question. The blood is up in israel for very good reasons. People are reeling from the shock of what happened two saturdays ago. The images now fresh images emerging of what those hamas people did, terrorist people did in southern israel. Israelis are seeing those images and they want something done about it, which is not an unreasonable position to take. Thats what we have been hearing all morning from erin in tel aviv, from clarissa in ashkelon. A real node among the israeli people for ven jennings, revenge for what happened to them. Why would Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hold back from that . Every instinct that he has will be telling him not to hold back, on the contrary, to lead into the fight, to send in the ground troops. Thats why its such a heavy lift for biden. Biden is going to have to press him perhaps using the example of what happened in this country. Our response to 9 11 and then the problem of going into afghanistan without a longterm plan. Bidens going to have to use the United States a
