Biden’s ambitions to promote regional peace while preserving tight connections with the Israeli government were jeopardized, however, when a bomb at the Ahli Arab Hospital late on Tuesday killed 200 to 300 people.

Health officials in the Gaza Strip, which is governed by Hamas, said that the explosion at the Ahli Arab Hospital was the latest in a series of Israeli airstrikes and killed 200 to 300 people. 500 deaths, according to a statement from Hamas.
