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.

The world loves Israel as a victim, but never in defending itself.

Probably a bomb factory in the basement. Someone screwed up. Or lit it up on purpose so they could blame the Israelis.

And we're all to take the word of savages who conducted a mass rocket attack on innocent civilians, went house to house to take hostages, raped, tortured, killed many Israelis at point blank range just for existing?

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?

“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.
