Israelis & Palestinians trade blame for hospital blast

Protests are continuing throughout the Middle East after an explosion
at a hospital in Gaza killed an estimated 500 people.

Hamas has blamed the Israeli military for carrying out the strike,
while Israel says militants caused the blast with a misfired rocket.

US President Joe Biden - in Israel for meetings with Prime Minister
Benjamin Netayahu - has backed Israel's claim.

Biden's planned trip to Jordan to meet Arab leaders was canceled
following the hospital explosion.
