KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — A senior Palestinian official says President Mahmoud Abbas has canceled his participation in a meeting scheduled Wednesday with President Joe Biden and other Mideast leaders.
Abbas was scheduled to join Jordan’s King Abdullah II and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi at Wednesday’s summit in Amman, Jordan, where they are to discuss the latest Israel-Hamas war with Biden.
But the senior official said Abbas was withdrawing to protest an alleged Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Gaza that Hamas health officials say has killed over 500 people.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the cancelation has not been formally announced.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — The Health Ministry run by Hamas said an Israeli airstrike on Tuesday hit a Gaza City hospital packed with wounded and other Palestinians seeking shelter, killing hundreds. If confirmed, the attack would be by far the deadliest Israeli airstrike in five wars fought since 2008.
The health ministry, which is run by Hamas, said at least 500 people had been killed. Photos purportedly from al-Ahli Hospital shared widely on social video showed fire engulfing the building, widespread damage and bodies scattered in the wreckage. The photos could not be independently verified.

He is irrelevant. Abbas is not in control of Hamas.
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS THE LEADERS OF WW111.
Just watch, this is Biden’s way out, he will cancel his trip to Israel tomorrow
Hamas probably bombed them.
He just used that6 for an excuse...
Abbas never intended to meet with Joe...
Who would if they didnt need to ???
A good start...
Built a “hospital” over your underground rocket factory, did you? Oh, so clever.
The world loves Israel as a victim, but never in defending itself.
Good, kick him out.
Probably a bomb factory in the basement. Someone screwed up. Or lit it up on purpose so they could blame the Israelis.
What the heck is he even president of. Palestine is a pretend country.
Then there are the reports of cutting off baby's/children's heads, which I'm still not sure happened. Does anyone on this board have confirmation of that atrocity? Does anyone?
President Mahmoud Abbas and President Joe Biden . It would be difficult indeed to determine who is the bigger liar.
Abbas is irrelevant to the situation.................
I’m betting it’s a security concern....aka...common sense.
“He is irrelevant. Abbas is not in control of Hamas.
“
He was elected for a term that expired decades ago. Governments are trying to make Abbas relevant because they want someone to deal with. The “Palestinians” have no government. The best they can come up with are various terror groups who attract members by being more anti-Israeli than anyone else. Imagine a homeowner’s association, but with guns.
Whatever it takes to boost their standing with the “propal” assclowns. 🖕
🙏🇮🇱👍
Okay
