President Joe Biden was asked by a reporter in Israel on Wednesday what made him confident that the Israelis weren’t behind the explosion that killed hundreds at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.

Biden responded that it was “the data I was shown by my Defense Department.”

Two U.S. officials told ABC News the Pentagon independently concluded the Gaza hospital blast was likely caused by an errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that fell short of its target.

    Well if there’s just one thing wrong in my wall of text, so be it. Googling around, it looks like Egypt is the group that doesn’t want the Rafah crossing opened, because they don’t want Palestinians settling permanently in their land. And Israel has been bombing the crossing and the migrants at it.

    Concentrating Palestinians who were already in one of the most densely populated areas of the world into what, half their original land mass, is pretty genocidal on its own. Maybe just no longer doing the genocide. They could stop.
