Israel-Gaza war live updates: Biden plans to address nation on U.S. response to Israel-Gaza war amid ongoing aid negotiations

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak arrived in Israel on Thursday, the latest Western leader to visit the country this week. During a news conference in Jerusalem with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Sunak said he was shocked by the destruction wrought by the conflict so far, including the blast at Gaza City’s al-Ahli Hospital. President Biden, who visited Israel on Wednesday, said the strike appeared to come from an “errant rocket fired by a terrorist group in Gaza,” echoing the Israel Defense Forces’ stance. Palestinian authorities blamed the strike on Israel and said it killed 471 people — a death toll the IDF has disputed. The Washington Post could not immediately verify either side’s claim. Later, Biden said Egypt would allow up to 20 trucks with aid through the Rafah border crossing into Gaza, as the enclave faces an increasingly dire humanitarian crisis.
