Tel Aviv: US President Joe Biden on a solidarity visit to Israel on Wednesday backed the ally's account that Palestinian armed factions caused a devastating hospital strike in Gaza.

"I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in Gaza yesterday. And based on what I've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team," Biden said as he met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv.

Biden did not provide any evidence to back up his assessment
