President Joe Biden’s attempts to ease tensions in the Israel-Hamas conflict faced major setbacks. A planned summit with Arab leaders in Jordan was canceled after a deadly explosion at a Gaza hospital, leading to protests by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas. Jordan’s Foreign Minister, Ayman Safadi, expressed the need to halt the war, protect Palestinian civilians, and deliver humanitarian aid. President Biden expressed outrage over the hospital explosion and postponed his trip to Jordan. Amid the growing humanitarian crisis and regional tensions, the situation remains volatile. U.S. officials worked on an aid agreement for Gaza. The conflict has claimed many lives, including a significant number of children, and displaced over a million Palestinians.
