Arab countries and Turkey condemn the attack and blame Israel
Palestinian Authority President Nabil Abu Rudeina’s spokesman has blamed Israel for the bombing of Al-Ahly Hospital in Gaza, which left at least 500 people dead. “This confirms that this Israeli government does not respect international standards or laws.”
According to the Associated Press agency, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has canceled his interview with United States President Joe Biden, which was scheduled to take place in Jordan. Abbas has returned to Ramallah, the capital of the Palestinian Authority.
Egypt, Jordan, Qatar and Turkey also condemned the attack. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on “all of humanity” to put an end to “Israel’s unprecedented brutality” in Gaza. “The expansion of Israeli attacks on hospitals, schools and other population centers is a dangerous escalation,” the Qatari Foreign Ministry said.
