A deadly blast at a hospital in Gaza had an immediate impact on President Biden's trip — calling off a visit to Jordan. He made remarks declaring U.S. support for Israel in Tel Aviv.
President Biden is in Tel Aviv on Wednesday as Israel gets ready for a ground invasion against Hamas in Gaza. But after a deadly explosion at a Gaza hospital, Biden canceled plans to go to Jordan.
Biden has arrived in Israel, where he says he's "outraged" by a Gaza hospital explosion that killed hundreds. The House will meet today after Jim Jordan failed a speaker vote.
Israel is a cornerstone of GOP foreign policy and presidential hopefuls are seeking to stand out from the crowded field as they proclaim their views on Israel, Hamas and the Middle East.
The cause of the explosion has not yet been confirmed. Protests broke out in Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Jordan in response to the blast, with crowds chanting against Israel.
