US President Joe Biden landed in "Tel Aviv" at the head of an envoy of diplomats, earlier today, declaring his support for "Israel" against the Palestinian resistance.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Biden's visit would last around four hours and that he is scheduled to hold a meeting with the Israeli war cabinet.

The US president will reportedly press to establish "safe zones" within Gaza.

During a meeting with Netanyahu, Biden played along to the Israeli narrative of the massacre in Al-Ahli hospital accusing the Palestinian resistance of the bombing.

“Based on what I've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you,” Biden said: adding that the US will continue to make efforts to ensure that "Israel" has everything it needs to “defend” itself.

Biden was initially scheduled to visit Jordan to hold a quadripartite meeting with the Jordanian King, the Egyptian president, and the Palestinian Authorities' head.

However, the quadripartite meeting was canceled following the atrocious massacre committed by the Israeli occupation at Al-Ahli Hospital.

Earlier today, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that Russia classifies the massacre in Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza as a crime and an act of dehumanization.

"Of course, we classify such a criminal act as a crime, as an act of dehumanization," Zakharova told Radio Sputnik, adding that Israel must provide satellite images to prove that its army is not involved in the attack.

Zakharova said that the situation has evolved far beyond being a regional crisis: describing it as a global humanitarian disaster.
