The already risky trip of the American president, Joe Biden, to Israel and Jordan became even more complicated following hundreds of Palestinians were killed on Tuesday in a bombing of a Gaza hospital.
Palestinian authorities blamed Israel, while Israeli authorities denied involvement in the attack, which occurred during the intense offensive once morest that enclave.
The Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbasquickly canceled a meeting with Biden following the attack and international leaders condemned the bombing.
There were no immediate indications that Biden will postpone the trip, which is largely intended to show support for Israel.
The president was expected to meet with the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahuin Tel Aviv on Wednesday, and then heads to Amman to meet with the Ray Abdullah of Jordan and with the Egyptian president, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
The absence of Abbas or any Palestinian official from these meetings while he meets with Israelis on their territory might undermine Biden’s other goals of calming tensions in the region and shoring up humanitarian efforts for Gaza.
