sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre. newcastle united have confirmed their midfielder sandro tonali is being investigated by the italian prosecutor's office and the italian football federation in relation to alleged illegal betting activity. it's after tonali was withdrawn from italy's training camp. newcastle say the 23 —year—old is co operating with the inquiry and that he and his family would continue to receive the club's full support. tonali and aston villa's nicolo zani olo recently left italy's training camp for their euro qualifiers against malta and england after being told they were involved in an investigation by italian prosecutors. tonali has been capped 15 times by italy. manchester united women are in the french capital for the second leg of their women's champions league qualifier with paris saint germain later. the tie remains evenly poised after the two sides played out a one one draw

at leigh sports village last week. is looking unlikely for manchester with pst leading at the moment. lasko said he haven't made it either. they needed to overturn a four nail deficit in norway, but they lost 6—0 on aggregate. around they lost 6—0 on aggregate. around the dread comfortably made it there as well. jenni hermoso has been named in the spain squad for the first time since winning the world cup. former spanish football federation president luis rubiales kissed hermoso during the world cup trophy presentation, which she says was not consensual. rubiales eventually resigned and was given a restraining order. new zealand continued their winning run at the cricket world cup with a thumping 149 run win over afghanistan in chennai. afghanistan had the better of the early proceedings, taking three wickets in nine balls, to leave new zealand struggling at 110 for four. but a solid partnership between captain tom latham and glen phillips of over 100

steered them towards a 288 total. the bowlers then took over with a clinical performance as afghanistan were all out for 139 in reply. scrum half danny care has featured in four of england's five games at the rugby world cup in france, including sunday's nail biting quarter final win over fiji. it's a big task for him and england next as they try and beat a south africa team aiming for a record fourth rugby world cup success. i think a lot�*s changed in four years. we're a completely different team and i think they are. they're playing slightly different. i have so much respect for them as a team and their coaches. i think they've tweaked and adapted their game and there were not many weaknesses, not many weaknesses to go after. i think we've got to be incredibly respectable for them, but also focus on ourselves a fair bit. our games slowly are

getting better and better. we've shown glimpses of really good stuff and stuff that we can definitely improve on. we know that if we can get our game on the pitch, we can hopefully cause problems. but we're fully aware of the mammoth task, but excited for it. after the news that flag football is amongst the new sports at the olympics, many nfl players hinted that they would be interested in playing at the games, and it could be on the cards. nfl executive peter o'reilly says the league will work with the players�* union on allowing current and former players to participate. ultimately, that decision on the makeup of team usa is a decision of usa football. or the governing bodies around the world because we're thinking about team usa, but they're also a lot of other passports in the nfl. 113 foreign—born players as of week five. that opportunity for athletes

to represent their country, what they've spoken out about and will continue to do his work with the players association and the clubs in the time ahead to determine the process and then work with usa football. and that's all the sport for now. presidentjoe biden says it appears the hospital blast, wasn't the result of an israeli air strike and said he had seen data from the pentagon. but he acknowledged there were a "lot of people out there" who aren't so sure. so what can we establish — with any certainty — about who was behind the attack on the hospital? our diplomatic correspondent caroline hawley has been working with our colleagues at bbc verify. ever since the explosion happened at around 7pm local time, bbc verification experts have been poring over all the images that have emerged. israel says the incident

was a failed rocket launch by the palestinian group islamic jihad. these pictures show what appears to be the carpark of the hospital in flames. we've been able to establish it's a courtyard with cars parked in it from the shape of the buildings. the al—jazeera television station was broadcasting live from gaza at the time. and you see a bright light in the air that looks like a rocket. now we don't know where it was fired from. but something appears to happen to it and then a few seconds later there's a flash and then an enormous fireball. our verification teams have looked at these images and can tell from the rooves, from the placing of solar panels and from some trees, that it was in the main courtyard of the hospital. now we have some images by daylight this morning — with a clearer picture emerging of the extent of the damage. here you see cars that have been burned in the fireball and here there's even an upturned vehicle. butjust a few damaged tiles on a roof that experts say does not

suggest a massive explosion. there is also a relatively small crater from the impact of whatever came into the courtyard area. here's that crater from a different angle. we showed these images to a number of weapons experts and while they couldn't come to a firm conclusion, several said of the incident had been caused by the type of bomb normally used by israel, the crater would have been bigger, with more damage to the buildings. in this picture, you see windows blown out but this hospital building close to the crater still standing. one way of trying to establish what hit this hospital is by studying bomb or missile fragments at the scene. but a bbc team which visited the hospital didn't find any. here's an image we found last night of men searching the crater. the logo on their vests is from the palestinian police — the explosive ordnance disposal unit — we don't know what, if anything, they recovered. the islamichhad movement said the explosion was caused by israeli aerial bombing and claimed

that they have the remnants of the explosive head, but haven't yet provided any evidence. what's not in dispute is that there were mass casualties at the hospital. to establish the exact truth of what caused this, you'd need an independent investigation. but that's not going to happen in what is an active war zone. joining me is mark regev who is senior adviser to prime minister benjamin netanyahu and former ambassador of israel to the united kingdom. thank you very much forjoining us here on the bbc. we heard from president biden who was in israel earlier today saying he didn't see evidence that supported any claim that israel was behind the strike on the hospital. what intelligence can you tell us about that also supports that? ~ ., , ., ., , that? well, i would share what is ublic that? well, i would share what is public and _ that? well, i would share what is public and then _ that? well, i would share what is public and then went _ that? well, i would share what is public and then went our - public and then went our intelligence produced, they are the

videos, as we know, it's not generally particularly supportive of israel and the jewish generally particularly supportive of israel and thejewish state and as a result, there is actually a material that shows that this was a rocket fired from inside gaza that fell short. i think that's extremely significant. they are not trying to do israel any favours, that's for sure. at the same time, there's also a video from security cameras taken from inside israel from communities close to the border which also show pictures of missiles flying up into the air and pictures of missiles flying up into the airand one pictures of missiles flying up into the air and one falling short in the hospital and the explosion happening in the hospital. there's the material that your own experts say that this is not the sort of explosion or the sort of damage that would've been caused by an israeli bomb. that's notjust you. at the independent experts have come to the same conclusion and finally, israeli intelligence has intercepted, we made public this morning and intercept of hamas, people talking to each other where they admit that it is an islamichhad weapon that

fell short. , . , , it is an islamichhad weapon that fellshort. , . , , ., it is an islamichhad weapon that fellshort. , ~, fell short. publicly they are saying it is israel- _ fell short. publicly they are saying it is israel. they _ fell short. publicly they are saying it is israel. they are _ fell short. publicly they are saying it is israel. they are not _ fell short. publicly they are saying it is israel. they are not admitting that officially. certainly you've other governments in the region who remain unconvinced, including countries which have normalised relations with such as the uae and bahrain who have described this as an israeli attack. 50 bahrain who have described this as an israeli attack.— an israeli attack. so i'm first of course, hamas, _ an israeli attack. so i'm first of course, hamas, from - an israeli attack. so i'm first of course, hamas, from their - an israeli attack. so i'm first of. course, hamas, from their point an israeli attack. so i'm first of- course, hamas, from their point of view, of course it is israel, and of they control the gaza strip and there is no independent society since they took power 16 years ago. they have stamped out independent civil society and the gaza strip. there are no checks and balances. if they say it was an israeli strike, you get all sorts of people who will follow the party line and you will get that message clearly from guys i. . ., get that message clearly from guys i. what about these other countries that i mentioned _ i. what about these other countries that i mentioned and _ i. what about these other countries that i mentioned and there - i. what about these other countries that i mentioned and there are - i. what about these other countries that i mentioned and there are a i that i mentioned and there are a whole list of arab nations who describe it as an israeli attack. 50 describe it as an israeli attack. so i will describe it as an israeli attack. sr i will say something and then ask

you to ask one of the bbc�*s diplomatic correspondence that they will corroborate what i'm about to say, but i think that there can sometimes be a difference between what israeli and what arab governments say publicly because they have to appease what they called the arab streets, people who have the feelings of their people and between what they know. and my impression is the minute the americans and the israelis who have shown such conclusive proof, i don't believe that serious arab governments do believe that it was an israeli strike. i think they are serious enough and knowledgeable enough and connected with western intelligence services to see the material i know exactly what happened. £31 material i know exactly what happened-— material i know exactly what happened. material i know exactly what hauened. , ., happened. of course, people are stillt in: happened. of course, people are still trying to _ happened. of course, people are still trying to look _ happened. of course, people are still trying to look into _ happened. of course, people are still trying to look into what - still trying to look into what happened. let's talk about what happens next. how much do you think the strike on the hospital was a game changer in what comes next? well, we have had examples of an accident that can be a game changer in previous conflicts, but because we proved conclusively that it

wasn't israel, i mean, anyone who is objective, i said as the israeli statement that it is not us, and so i think here we haven't had a game changer. i think this is more of the same that hamas is accusing israel of all sorts of crimes and i don't think people should take it too seriously. of course they are going to say it is israel. there was a diplomatic repercussion obviously the president �*s meetings were cancelled. he was supposed to come as you know, go tojordan. but once again i think the governments involved, egypt and jordan, they know full well what the truth is. i think their public statements are interesting, and, of course i'm not saying they are unimportant, but what they privately say about hamas when they are speaking to the other arab governments, when they are speaking to their western partners come i think they are very critical. we will try to get people from those countries on to speak on that as we

can on the bbc. let me ask you about this. it was a good trip all around, president biden�*s trip from an israeli perspective. he did say desk and he said after 9/11, we were enraged in the united states. while he sought justice we enraged in the united states. while he soughtjustice we also made mistakes and he did caution israel and said "i cautioned that while you feel that rage, down to be consumed by it." how is israel so far being consumed by rage? i by it." how is israel so far being consumed by rage?— by it." how is israel so far being consumed by rage? i think president biden's words— consumed by rage? i think president biden's words are _ consumed by rage? i think president biden's words are words _ consumed by rage? i think president biden's words are words of - consumed by rage? i think president biden's words are words of wisdom. | biden�*s words are words of wisdom. and, of course, we have to be very judicious in our policy goals and not to lead to rage and anger, and we have the right to be angry, of course... �* , ., we have the right to be angry, of course... �* i. ., course... but when you look at the facts, according _ course... but when you look at the facts, according to _ course... but when you look at the facts, according to gaza's - course... but when you look at the facts, according to gaza's health i facts, according to gaza's health ministry now, more than 31100 palestinians have been killed in israeli air strikes.— israeli air strikes. first of all, i've not israeli air strikes. first of all, we got no — israeli air strikes. first of all, i've got no doubt _ israeli air strikes. first of all, i've got no doubt that - israeli air strikes. first of all, i've got no doubt that there l israeli air strikes. first of all, i i've got no doubt that there has been suffering and misery in gaza since this war started. unfortunately, war always brings destruction and misery. but i urge

you, please, be very cautious with those figures because they come out of a hamas —controlled ministry of health in gaza. there is no objective... health in gaza. there is no objective. . ._ health in gaza. there is no ob'ective... ~ ~ ., ., ., objective... we know from our colleagues _ objective... we know from our colleagues on _ objective... we know from our colleagues on the _ objective... we know from our colleagues on the ground, - objective... we know from our - colleagues on the ground, civilians are dying. i colleagues on the ground, civilians are d inc. ., , ., colleagues on the ground, civilians ared inc. ., , ., �* are dying. i did not deny that, i'm “ust are dying. i did not deny that, i'm just saying _ are dying. i did not deny that, i'm just saying you — are dying. i did not deny that, i'm just saying you have _ are dying. i did not deny that, i'm just saying you have to _ are dying. i did not deny that, i'm just saying you have to be - are dying. i did not deny that, i'm| just saying you have to be cautious with the statistics that come out of that ministry of health which is run by hamas. how many of those, how many of them were combatants, how many of them were combatants, how many wear civilians? if you believe hamas propaganda, they are all civilians under age six. it's clear that they have an interest in saying we have never hit a single combat and we are getting civilians, but that's obviously not true. let me ask a veteran — that's obviously not true. let me ask a veteran development - that's obviously not true. let me ask a veteran development that l that's obviously not true. let me - ask a veteran development that came out of the talks today between president biden and prime minister netanyahu, and that is the agreement that israel will not thwart the delivery of food, water and medicine from egypt for a civilians in gaza. what timescale are we now talking cosmically promising that in the next few hours that that aid can

finally get through? because people are in desperate need. the un says that gaza is on the brink of a deepening humanitarian catastrophe. so we went aid to reach the civilian population of gaza, and the rafah crossing is the right place for that to happen. but we have also set and president biden said it to that we do not want a situation where hamas can siphon off the aid for its own military machine, and there was a documented case yesterday where there were oil tankers that entered there were oil tankers that entered the gaza strip and the petrol inside was supposed to go to hospital generators, something that is humanitarian and legitimate, and we know for a fact that thomas stole a part of that oil and we presume it went straight to their military machine and to their armed forces who we are fighting against, so we have set in the americans have said they have to be safeguards in place to make sure that aid goes to the

people it's supposed to go to. now, hamas are the only people in gaza with guns, and it is not likely if they come to an oil tanker and say come here, there is much that you can do about it. but they have to be arrangements in place to make sure that doesn't happen, we minimise the possibility that that happens and i think that people who are donating 80 to the palestinians, first and foremost, have an interest that aid to the palestinians goes to the palestinians and isn't stolen by hamas. might not you very much for joining us here on the bbc. my pleasure. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. it weighs me for the people that we support. that worries me what is going to happen to them and how we are going to make sure that we can keep recruiting and we can keep supporting them to live the best life ever stop at the government has put an extra £2.11 billion into social care, but it is only enough to match the increase in inflation.

care worker pay is a pretty big issue. it's an issue that the local government association has lobbied hard on. and to make a step change is difficult. it needs funding to councils to increase, and, of course, it needs to increase in a way that it gets through to the care worker pay. way that it gets through to the care worker pay-— worker pay. many at the summit believed better _ worker pay. many at the summit believed better wages _ worker pay. many at the summit believed better wages won't - worker pay. many at the summit l believed better wages won't solve everything, but care organisations like karen's say if staff were rewarded for what they do, there would be more personalised help to go around. for would be more personalised help to to around. ., ., , , ., go around. for more strays from across the _ go around. for more strays from across the uk _ go around. for more strays from across the uk can _ go around. for more strays from across the uk can head - to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. i development that hasjust come into us— i development that hasjust come into us from — i development that hasjust come into us from the _ i development that hasjust come into us from the un's _ i development that has just come - into us from the un's communication director_ into us from the un's communication director in _ into us from the un's communication director injordan. _ into us from the un's communication director injordan. reacting _ into us from the un's communication director injordan. reacting to - into us from the un's communication director in jordan. reacting to that i director in jordan. reacting to that announcement _ director in jordan. reacting to that announcement we _ director in jordan. reacting to that announcement we reported - director in jordan. reacting to that announcement we reported earlier made _ announcement we reported earlier made by— announcement we reported earlier made by president _ announcement we reported earlier made by president biden- announcement we reported earlier made by president biden about. announcement we reported earlierl made by president biden about age reaching _ made by president biden about age reaching the — made by president biden about age reaching the gaza _ made by president biden about age reaching the gaza strip— made by president biden about age reaching the gaza strip and - made by president biden about age | reaching the gaza strip and possible passage _ reaching the gaza strip and possible passage from — reaching the gaza strip and possible passage from egypt— reaching the gaza strip and possible passage from egypt through - reaching the gaza strip and possible passage from egypt through to - reaching the gaza strip and possible passage from egypt through to gaza and she _ passage from egypt through to gaza and she says — passage from egypt through to gaza and she says we _ passage from egypt through to gaza and she says we are _ passage from egypt through to gaza and she says we are pre—positioning supplies. _ and she says we are pre—positioning supplies. we — and she says we are pre—positioning supplies. we are _ and she says we are pre—positioning supplies, we are ready— and she says we are pre—positioning supplies, we are ready to _ and she says we are pre—positioning supplies, we are ready to go. - and she says we are pre—positioning supplies, we are ready to go. it-

domestic politics. thank you very much forjoining us here on bbc news. first of all, how significant is the summit? two major world leaders who have been meeting. of course, a lot of attention directed elsewhere at the moment. it's directed elsewhere at the moment. it�*s very important for two reasons. first, that it is surmounting to a russia china partnership and promotes chinese one belt one road initiative. russia has been cooperating with that. and now russia is probably going tojoin cooperating with that. and now russia is probably going to join as its partner. that ties between russia and china are going through strength to strength, so there is a very full political agenda there. but it�*s also a very important demonstration in fact for putin to show that he is not as elated. it is on the world stage. this farm has

attracted delegates from 140 people. there was presidents, country leaders to have a meeting with putin. his press conference have that kind of star performance, and that kind of star performance, and that was also his opportunity to project a russian stance vis—a—vis the west towards the crisis and middle east.— middle east. two very powerful countries coming _ middle east. two very powerful countries coming together i middle east. two very powerful. countries coming together today. middle east. two very powerful- countries coming together today. but how much enmity is there between them? how much are they rivals as well? , ., ., ., , , ., well? they are not rivals, they are iuite well? they are not rivals, they are quite complementary. _ well? they are not rivals, they are quite complementary. there i well? they are not rivals, they are quite complementary. there is i well? they are not rivals, they are| quite complementary. there is also quite complementary. there is also quite convenient for beijing to hide behind the kremlin �*s assertiveness. it is the kremlin which makes all sorts of statements, all sort of aims at the west. putin is more kind

of eloquent speaker on that. china shares the same kind of the use of morals, hegemonic agenda, but it is much more comfortable for russia to actually go ahead and say. the other thing is that they are different categories. china is much more stronger economically, but russia also has things to offer, so the combined influence actually works very well in central asia, in middle east, and africa, yes, there are some business rivals, but generally, it is quite a smooth partnership. also sealed by a quite a lot of empathy, quite a lot of a rapport between both leaders. putin and the

president of china do have a lot in common. they view the world in similar terms. they believe in strong leadership. so, yes, that�*s kind of cements the strong personal connection. ., ~ kind of cements the strong personal connection. . ~' , ., , kind of cements the strong personal connection. ., ,, , ., , . ., connection. thank you very much for briniiin connection. thank you very much for bringing us — connection. thank you very much for bringing us up-to-date _ connection. thank you very much for bringing us up-to-date on _ connection. thank you very much for bringing us up-to-date on that i connection. thank you very much for bringing us up-to-date on that very| bringing us up—to—date on that very important meeting between russia�*s vladimir putin and china�*s president. president xi jinping has launched a global ai governance initiative — which will take place at the third "belt and road" forum — currently being held in beijing. the initiative comes a day after intelligence chiefs from "the five eyes" countries met on tuesday to accuse china of stealing intellectual property and using artificial intelligence for hacking and espionage against nations. the announcement also came a day after the latest us ban aimed at restricting china�*s access to advanced chips and chip—making tools. according to the chinese leader, the aim of this initiative is to address issues related to the development of artificial intelligence. china will continue to advance scientific and technological innovation. the country will continue

to implement the belt and road science, technology and innovation cooperation action plan, hold the first belt and road conference on science and technology exchange, increase the number ofjoint laboratories built with other parties to 100 in the next five years, and support young scientists from other countries to work on short—term programmes in china. live now to professor gina neff — she is the executive director of the minderoo centre for technology and democracy at cambridge university. thank you very much forjoining us here on the bbc. what do you make of what we just heard there from the chinese president?— what we just heard there from the chinese president? well, china has been extremely _ chinese president? well, china has been extremely proud _ chinese president? well, china has been extremely proud of _ chinese president? well, china has been extremely proud of their- chinese president? well, china has been extremely proud of their role| been extremely proud of their role and the aia regulation, and in some ways, this announcement is not so unexpected. we are going to have all eyes on the uk in the online safety summit in the ai world, there is a lot of conversation happening now around a high safety whether or not china will be a part of those

conversations, so the fact that they are among their friends and allies announcing that they want more and closer cooperation shouldn�*t surprise anyone. closer cooperation shouldn't surprise anyone.— closer cooperation shouldn't surprise anyone. lets remind our viewers of _ surprise anyone. lets remind our viewers of what _ surprise anyone. lets remind our viewers of what this _ surprise anyone. lets remind our| viewers of what this arrangement surprise anyone. lets remind our. viewers of what this arrangement is. australia, canada, new zealand, the united kingdom and the us. and they kind of cooperate on intelligence. so how is china trying to counter that? ~ 4' so how is china trying to counter that? ~ ~ ., , , that? well, i think on both sides, there has been _ that? well, i think on both sides, there has been an _ that? well, i think on both sides, there has been an assumption i that? well, i think on both sides, there has been an assumption of| that? well, i think on both sides, i there has been an assumption of bad acting, and the tensions, i don�*t need to remind anyone, are quite high. both in al and and other issues in the geopolitical landscape around technology. so, that china announced they wanted stronger relations with their own allies through the project and turning it into a large ai collaboration shouldn�*t surprise the west when the west has been doing, in effect, the

same thing. the hope is that these tensions can at least thought momentarily when china has been invited as part of the uk�*s hosting of this global ai safety summit in early november. {lilia of this global ai safety summit in early november.— of this global ai safety summit in early november. of this global ai safety summit in earl november. ., ., , ., early november. 0k, and where do you see the future? _ early november. ok, and where do you see the future? of— early november. 0k, and where do you see the future? of course, _ early november. 0k, and where do you see the future? of course, this - early november. 0k, and where do you see the future? of course, this all i see the future? of course, this all comes as china has been meeting with russia. ., �* , , ., ,, , russia. that's right. so the stakes are re russia. that's right. so the stakes are pretty high- — russia. that's right. so the stakes are pretty high. the _ russia. that's right. so the stakes are pretty high. the idea - russia. that's right. so the stakes are pretty high. the idea is - russia. that's right. so the stakes are pretty high. the idea is that i are pretty high. the idea is that there is a global race, and it�*s being framed like this. however, china understands the issues around ai regulation and safety are incredibly serious. now, my friend and colleague, barry o�*sullivan, saysin and colleague, barry o�*sullivan, says in al ethics, it�*s one field separated by a common language. china may say the word human rights and a mean one thing when the west says ai and human rights, they mean

say they feel confident the explosion was a result of a failed rocket launch. stay with us here on the context. hello. storm babet will be lashing the uk over the next few days, but i�*d also like to make the point that the weather won�*t be bad all the time as this storm spreads from the south. we�*re also expecting the skies to clear in a few places. sunny spells and mild weather can be expected, too. but let�*s focus on the rain. the biggest problem from this storm — a rare red warning in force thursday into friday for specifically angus and southern parts of aberdeenshire and the met office warns of even danger to life. but let�*s look at the rainfall first across the whole of the uk. so, this is the rainfall accumulation as the days go by — widely 30—40 millimetres of rain, but you can see around eastern scotland and the northeast of england here, potentially well in excess of 100 millimetres of rain. so, here�*s the forecast then through the night — the weather fronts, the rain front associated with storm babet

makes its journey towards the north. after a soaking evening across southern parts of the uk, actually, the skies may clear for a time through the early hours before further showers return. it�*s going to be relatively mild — around 15 degrees in the south, 10 degrees in the north with the clearer skies where the weather will have been relatively clear until then. now, through the course of thursday, that rain really starts to turn very persistent across eastern scotland. it�*s the east—southeasterly gale that develops, even severe gale, that will keep pushing the rain clouds towards eastern parts of scotland like a conveyor belt, so the rain will be falling in the same place all the time. so, here�*s the amber warning, because there are other warnings in force as well for other parts of scotland. in the north, across the highlands, we could have 100 millimetres of rain or so. this overlapping red warning is for the severe gale on the coast of eastern scotland — gusts of around 70 mph. but then, there�*s that red warning focusing on angus and southern parts of aberdeenshire, the red warning from the met office. extensive flooding is possible. so, here�*s the forecast, then, for friday — still that easterly wind pushing

in the rain clouds, but notice that the concentration of heavier rain will now be across more central, southeastern and southern parts of england. and actually, across the north and the east of scotland, that rain should start to ease, but it may return by the time we get to saturday. take care.

hello, i�*m rajini vaidyanathan. you�*re watching the context on bbc news. justice must be done, but i caution this, while you feel that rage, don�*t be consumed by it. after 9/11 we were enraged in the united states.

whill we soughtjustice and got justice, we also made mistakes. joe biden's presence here will only deepen the conviction among palestinians and millions of other arabs that america is not just on the side of israel, but that it is also complicit in everything israel is doing in gaza. according to our intelligence, hamas checked the reports, i understood it was an islamichhad i rocket that had misfired and decided to launch a global media campaign to hide what really happened. i us presidentjoe biden has flown in and out of israel today — on a whirlwind eight hour trip. a trip that�*s been overshadowed by last night�*s blast at a hospital in gaza. israel maintains it was not responsible — but not everyone agrees.

hamas, palestinian authorities and other arab nations have blamed
