The assessment echoed comments by US President Joe Biden during his eight-hour trip to Israel where he said he would seek an 'unprecedented' aid package from Congress, amid fears the Middle East is at 'the brink of a deep and dangerous abyss'.
United States President Joe Biden has pledged solidarity and said a deadly blast at a Gaza hospital seemed to have been caused by a rocket misfired by militants as he ended a Middle East peace mission that was curtailed by the explosion. Raising fears of wider instability, protesters staged anti-Israeli demonstrations around the Middle East over the fireball that engulfed the al-Ahli Arab Hospital late on Tuesday, which Palestinian officials said killed 471 people.
It reiterated that it would not let aid in from Israel until Hamas released Israeli hostages. Biden's Middle East trip was designed to calm the region, but Jordan called off his planned summit there with Egypt and the Palestinian Authority after the hospital blast. Instead, he was expected to hold phone calls with Jordan and Egypt from Air Force One on his way home.
