That statement came several hours after Biden's remarks upon arriving in Israel: "Based on what I've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you. But there's a lot of people out there, not sure," Biden said.intelligence committees both issued statements saying after being briefed on the matter that they were confident the blast was the result of a failed rocket launch and not due to Israeli military action.
U.K. Foreign Secretary James Cleverly also cast doubt on the idea that Israel was responsible. "Last night, too many jumped to conclusions around the tragic loss of life at Al Ahli hospital.
