Good day to our viewer in the United States and around the world. Im kasie hunt. It is wednesday, october 18. 5 00 a. M. Here in washington, noon in tel aviv where we just heard from President Biden who is in a bilateral meeting right now with israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The president commenting for the first time on camera about the explosion at a hospital in gaza city that officials there say killed hundreds of people. Deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in gaza yesterday. Based on what ive seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you. But there is a lot of people out there who are not sure. Said to be unparalleled and indescribable. A spokesperson says most of the victims are children and women.

When you heard of the murderous attack that hamas had launched on israel on october 7, did you immediately realise that this was going to put your family and so many others in gaza in extraordinary danger . Yes, absolutely. Not only my family, but all people in gaza and my entire nation, because i knew israel will instrumentalise this in the most horrible way possible. And this is exactly what happened, trying to link hamas to the Palestinian People, and then link hamas to isis, then linking the Palestinian People to isis, in preparation for this horror we are witnessing right this moment. Surely, the message israel was making and was bound to make was between hamas and unbelievable levels of barbarity and violence . And what they had to do was commit to destroy hamas. We have to listen to what the israeli officials and politicians and fanatics have been saying f
