Kirby mentioned that the President intends to engage with Israeli officials to gain insights into the circumstances on the ground. Additionally, Kirby highlighted that President Biden plans to pose challenging inquiries during these discussions.

According to reports, the number of Palestinians who have lost their lives due to Israeli strikes in Gaza is estimated to be around 2,800. According to health authorities, an estimated additional 1,200 individuals are thought to be trapped beneath the debris, with uncertain fates of being either alive or deceased.
The numbers mentioned refer to a time period before the explosion occurred at the Al-Ahli hospital on Tuesday. The cause of the blast has not been determined yet.
Following the occurrence of a devastating blast at the hospital, the region experienced a wave of protests. The hospital, which had been providing medical care to injured Palestinians and offering shelter to numerous individuals seeking safety from the ongoing conflict, became the epicenter of these demonstrations.
In major West Bank cities, such as Ramallah, a significant number of Palestinians took to the streets, resulting in a large gathering of individuals. Protests recently took place in Beirut, Lebanon and Amman, Jordan, with a significant increase in the number of participants. In both cities, a large and impassioned crowd assembled outside the Israeli Embassy to express their discontent.
Biden's intended visit to Jordan, which was meant to include meetings with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, was canceled due to widespread outrage. Abbas decided to withdraw from the summit as a form of protest, which ultimately led to the cancellation of the summit.
After the hospital explosion, Jordan made the decision to declare a period of mourning that would last for three days. According to Kirby, it was stated that Biden had a clear understanding that the decision to cancel the Jordan leg of his trip was a result of a mutual agreement. As he made his way back to Washington, it was announced that President Biden would engage in phone conversations with Arab leaders.
According to Ayman Safadi, the foreign minister of Jordan, the ongoing war is having a significant impact on the region and is causing it to approach a critical point.
Concerns have been raised regarding the possibility of a potential conflict emerging along Israel's northern border with Lebanon, an area where the militant group Hezbollah is known to operate. There have been ongoing skirmishes between Israeli forces and an organization supported by Iran.
Biden's upcoming trip to the Middle East will serve as a crucial test for the extent of U.S. influence in the region, particularly during a period of heightened volatility. As someone who has consistently placed faith in the efficacy of personal diplomacy, Biden's visit holds significant implications for the United States' ability to navigate complex geopolitical dynamics in this crucial part of the world. This marks his second visit to a conflict zone in the current year, following his previous trip to Ukraine in February. The purpose of his visit to Ukraine was to express support and unity with the nation as it confronts a military intervention by Russia.
During the visit to Israel, it is important to note the concurrent increase in humanitarian concerns in Gaza. Specifically, Israel has implemented measures that have resulted in the disruption of essential supplies such as food, fuel, and water to the region. The ongoing challenge faced by mediators is the resolution of a deadlock pertaining to the provision of essential supplies to civilians in dire need, as well as aid groups and hospitals.
The U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, engaged in diplomatic efforts by meeting with Arab and Israeli leaders prior to President Biden's visit. During a seven and a half hour meeting in Tel Aviv on Monday, Blinken aimed to facilitate an agreement on providing aid to Gaza. As a result of his discussions, he obtained approval to formulate a plan for the entry and distribution of aid to civilians in Gaza.
The talks led by Blinken resulted in a notable shift in Israel's stance regarding Gaza's access to vital resources such as fuel, electricity, water, and other essential supplies. Despite appearing as a modest achievement initially, U.S. officials emphasized the significance of this development.

According to U.S. officials, it has been observed that the Arab tolerance towards Israel's military operations is already limited. However, these officials have stated that if the conditions in Gaza were to deteriorate further, the Arab tolerance would completely vanish.
Their analysis projected that outright condemnation of Israel by Arab leaders would not only be a boon to Hamas but would likely encourage Iran to step up its anti-Israel activity, adding to fears that a regional conflagration might erupt, according to four officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss internal administration thinking.
