Hundreds of palestinian are feared dead after a huge blast at a hospital in gaza city. Palestinian Officials Say the blast was caused by an israeli airstrike , but the israeli airstrike, but the Israeli Military say it was the result of a failed rocket launch by palestine , an Islamic Jihad. Palestine, an Islamic Jihad. Both sides are currently denying blame. Yes. Were joined by charlie Charlie Peters, who is on the ground in tel aviv for us. Charlie charlie, can you please tell us a bit about what happened yesterday as far as you know the fallout since so know and the fallout since so last night there was a significant rocket barrage fired in from the gaza strip towards Central Israel where we are. Several interceptions took place over tel aviv , but also, place over tel aviv, but also, it appears, according to the idf, that at least one of those rockets misfired or broke up in the air over the gaza strip and potentially hit the area around the Baptist Christian hospital in north gaza. This is the claim in north gaza. This is the claim made by the idf last night. It took a few hours for them to produce that claim. But by then, produce that claim. But by then, so many alternate theories had been released. Indeed in the moments after the explosion at the hospital, the Hamas Run Health Ministry in the gaza strip said that over 500 had been killed and that it was the result of an israeli airstrike. This attracted significant reaction from around the arab world with jordan, the us, the uae , the kingdom of saudi arabia uae, the kingdom of saudi arabia , lebanon and egypt all coming out to condemn israel. Ills out to condemn israel. Ills attack in their view. We also heard from the president of the palestinian authority, who said that this was a crime of genocide. And there were also genocide. And there were also significant internal reactions in many of these arab nations as protests were launched on israeli embassies and american and british embassies across the region. But when we did hear from the idf, they said that it was not them that they were going to begin to release information on to support that claim. And this morning, we have seen significant , compelling, seen significant, compelling, but conclusive evidence that but not conclusive evidence that the explosion at the hospital was not caused by an israeli airstrike. By contrast , we have airstrike. By contrast, we have heard very little in terms of evidence from the hamas side this morning. Evidence shared by the idf includes signals and imagery intelligence. It is very rare for the idf to release signals intelligence because, of course , every time they share course, every time they share those sources, they lose them. That hamas operative we hear on on a phone call, according to the idf Intelligence Agency , he the idf Intelligence Agency, he will no longer be available to them after this occasion, but that they claim that that phone call is to hamas operatives discussing the failed launch by palestinian Islamic Jihad, an augned palestinian Islamic Jihad, an aligned terror group inside the gaza strip. They have also gaza strip. They have also released aerial imagery of the explosion site at the hospital. Explosion site at the hospital. Theyve compared what would usually be a crater from an idf missile. They have jdam missiles and £1,000 bombs that strike their targets in the gaza strip. They are significant munitions and they leave behind large craters. There is no such crater. They say , at the crater. They say, at the hospital sites where devastation can be seen. And so the can be seen. And so the conversation continues. Whos conversation continues. Whos there . As the idf seek to set there . As the idf seek to set the record straight from their side after so many claims were made last night and reaction spread around the world, that has had a significant effect on the ground in terms of the diplomatic situation. Of course, with President Joe Bidens planned meeting with King Abdullah tomorrow in jordan, cancelled. That was set to be a cancelled. That was set to be a significant factor, not only for discussing that likely Ground Invasion by the idf, but also human unitarian. Diplomacy can the americans secure what theyve been seeking for so many days now, which is a humanitarian safe zone in the south of the gaza strip, near the rafah crossing, after over 1 million civilians were ordered to flee by the idf from the north to the south ahead of increased bombardment. But the main focus this morning, can the israelis secure a further compelling Evidence Base for what they say was a failed palestinian Islamic Jihad strike over the gaza strip, which led to that explosion at the hospital . And devastation and hospital . And devastation and confusion continue blues as more theories and more evidence is released. Released. Charlie, are you saying there that obviously the planned visit between King Abdullah tomorrow and joe biden is now not taking place . What is joe biden going to do today . To do today . Well, he has a significant agenda meeting with survivors , agenda meeting with survivors, but also crucially, with israeli politicians. I think , to try and politicians. I think, to try and secure greater humanity , korean secure greater humanity, korean support for those in the gaza strip, all of the reports coming out of tel aviv suggest that one of the main blocs towards humanitarian support has been the israeli side, as they have such significant control over that blockade on the gaza strip in particular with access to water and electricity. Now now, the Israeli Energy minister two days ago said that they would reopen Water Supplies in the south of the gaza strip, but there have been no reports of that since. And on several times the americans have claimed that the americans have claimed that the crossing with the rafah Border Crossing with egypt into gaza will open. But egypt into gaza will open. But all of those hopes have been dashed. And so joe bidens visit here, i think a significant part of with those meetings of that with those meetings today israeli Leadership Today with israeli leadership will be try and secure will be to try and secure greater humanitarian aid, which is a significant shaping is also a significant shaping opportunity for future military endeavours. If the idf is going to strike north gaza , they will to strike north gaza, they will need to have more humanitarian support in the south. That is the consistent view among analysts here and also from american diplomacy. They need american diplomacy. They need people to move south. They need them to be safer there so that further strikes can continue in the north, because as we saw last night, when violence erupts in north, hundreds in the north, hundreds if not thousands get thousands of civilians get caughtin thousands of civilians get caught in appalling situations. Caught in appalling situations. Okay, charlie, thank you so much. Charlie peters there in israel for gb news exclusively. So richard tice is joining us now in the studio, leader of reform uk and gb news presenter richard, i thought that phrase that charlie used there was fantastic, compelling but not conclusive evidence that this was a strike committed by hamas , was a strike committed by hamas, perhaps accidentally as opposed to israel. What do you make of it . I think if you think about whats going on here, walls include a significant amount of propaganda on both sides and the reality is that it suits the hamas side and the Islamic Jihad group, for example, for such a strike to occur so that they can try and Gain International support and outrage and there is significant independent analysis which is coming out overnight, which is coming out overnight, which is coming out overnight, which is showing that that actually these rockets came from actually these rockets came from a group called Islamic Jihad. A group called Islamic Jihad. And i think weve just got to look at who benefits from this and the truth is its hamas. And the truth is its hamas. Its those who who are anti israel, anti the Jewish Community and theyre the ones who are now trying to Carry International outrage. And i suspect that everything that im seeing and reading points towards that. And so there are some pictures coming out. As you say, theres no crater. The Israeli Defence force spokesman very clear about that. So, look, very clear about that. So, look, its a very fast moving thing. There will be claims and counterclaims. Frankly, every hour over the coming days and weeks. The key question is what weeks. The key question is what does biden think hes going to achieve by this visit . And i wonder actually where hes got to, i think, reinforce to the Israeli Government and to netanyahu that they have got to try and not lose any more international support. Theyve got to look at the humanitarian routes that obviously theyre trying to use the water and the energy as a sort of negotiating leverage for those that are kidnapped , because that is, we kidnapped, because that is, we should not in any way forget there are hundreds, well over 100. We think israeli people and indeed britons and americans who are whove been kidnapped and are whove been kidnapped and are in in gaza. Richard, well talk more about what biden might have to say. But on your first point, on the propaganda, it is quite frightening how quickly that propaganda is spreading and how people so quickly become entrenched and want to believe what they saw first or from whatever source theyve got it. You spoke about how theres been perhaps an independent analysis this, oh, were looking now in israel and there is President Biden, President Biden with netanyahu there. Yeah, we dont have we dont have the audio for this particular speech at the moment. We will be bringing you excerpts of this as we go throughout the morning. But biden is there meeting with israeli president benjamin carry on. Benjamin netanyahu. Carry on. , First CasualtyBenjamin Netanyahu. Carry on. War. , First CasualtyBenjamin Netanyahu. Carry on. War. What , First CasualtyBenjamin Netanyahu. Carry on. War. What do , First CasualtyBenjamin Netanyahu. Carry on. War. What do you� st casualty Benjamin Netanyahu. Carry on. War.

What do you make of the situation across the media, across social media, particularly febrile , and the particularly febrile, and the impact of that , that were now impact of that, that were now seeing, demonstrations in consulates and embassies in the middle east, and that will spread and im afraid were likely to see more protests here in london and other european cities on this. So it is incredibly febrile and the importance of independent analysis analysts to try and assess each claim and counter claim and defence claim to try and get as close to the truth as as possible in war. Its very, very hard and in some way richard tice it almost doesnt matter because you could show what might appear to be conclusive evidence that this was a misfire by israel , by was a misfire by israel, b
