WASHINGTON \u2014 President Joe Biden will no longer visit Jordan as part of his Middle East trip this week, after a leaders summit on humanitarian aid for Palestinians was abruptly canceled Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The decision was made as unrest across the region swelled, in response to the deadly bombing of a hospital in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Biden had been scheduled to meet in with Jordan’s King Abdullah, Egyptian president Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, and Palestinian Authority president Mahmound Abbas after first visiting Israel.<\/p>\n

“There is no use in talking now about anything except stopping the war,” Jordanian foreign minister Ayman Safadi said on state television.<\/p>\n

The bombing of the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City Tuesday killed hundreds of people and escalated the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.<\/p>\n

Biden “sent his deepest condolences for the innocent lives lost in the hospital explosion in Gaza, and wished a speedy recovery to the wounded,” a White House official told CNBC.<\/p>\n

In deciding not to travel to Jordan, the White House also considered “the days of mourning announced by President Abbas,” for victims of the hospital attack, the official said.<\/p>\n

Horrific scenes captured on video showed victims in the aftermath of the bombing, which the Hamas militant group blamed on Israeli airstrikes.<\/p>\n

Israel denied that its targeted bombing in Gaza was responsible for destroying the hospital. “A hospital is a highly sensitive building and not an IDF Target. The IDF is currently investigating and as always prioritizes accuracy,” a spokesperson for the Israeli Defense told NBC News.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Angry protesters amassed in capitals and demanded an end to the Israeli military operation.<\/p>\n

Israel’s aerial bombardment\u00a0campaign\u00a0over the Gaza Strip is part of what it calls a total siege. This includes cutting off water, food and electricity supplies to a population of two million people.<\/p>\n

The humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza was to be a major focus of Biden’s trip, exemplified by the now canceled summit.<\/p>\n

The U.S. has been working with Egypt and Israel to develop humanitarian corridors to help evacuate women and children from the hardest hit areas.<\/p>\n

“I’m confident that there’s gonna be an ability for the innocents in Gaza to be able to have access to medicine and food and water,” Biden said on “60 Minutes.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
