Watch live: Biden speaks from Israel after meeting with Netanyahu

President Biden is delivering comments in Tel Aviv on Wednesday after meetings with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials, as much of the U.S. fears a wider war in the Middle East.

Biden’s trip to the region follows an explosion at a hospital in the Gaza Strip that killed hundreds on Tuesday.

Hamas attributes the attack to Israel’s aerial campaign. Israel has said the blast was caused by a misfired rocket launched by the Palestinian group Islamic Jihad, which like Hamas is designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department.

Biden made reference to the latter report in the meeting, although leaving open the possibility of other explanations.

In the wake of the hospital bombing, Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas canceled a trip to Amman, Jordan, where he was to meet with Biden and other regional leaders. Biden will now no longer travel to Jordan.

The president is expected to speak soon, although the schedule is subject to change.
