Israel-Hamas war: Joe Biden heads to Middle East inflamed by Gaza hospital blast

US President Joe Biden is heading to Israel to express support for Israel’s conflict with Hamas after a deadly explosion at a Gaza City hospital. The blast, reportedly caused by an Israeli air strike, resulted in a high death toll, though the exact number is unverified.
