Escalation

Eh, who knows? There could very well have been a weapons depot under that hospital. Even if there was, it doesn't change the outcome. If your mind is already made up, no evidence that comes out is going to change your view. Who did it isn't nearly as important as the real-world consequences of it.
Escalation
Iranian Foreign Minister and diplomatic envoy arrived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The Islamic world views Israel's actions as so egregious, that these two countries are willing to stop a 50 year proxy war to meet. (What these two countries decide to do will be the biggest deciding factor for the direction the region goes.)
I'm not even talking about just the hospital bombing. There are plenty of questionable to reprehensible actions committed by Israel over the last week and over the last handful of decades
And for are very simple minded posters that have a hard (impossible) time with nuance and grey areas... Pointing out these actions by Israel doesn't mean you support Hamas.

So just a simple answer my friend, you're the president; it's your call, you have both houses, exactly how do you handle the situation?
WSS
Immediately stop all financial/military aid to Israel/Palestine, tell them that financial aid will be withheld until hostilities end. Send some of said aid to East Palestine, Ohio and Texas border patrol to emphasize that my priority is Americans, not Middle Easterners. Recall both carrier task forces from the region and respectfully tell our "greatest ally" that the $3B in aid they've received from us every year for the last 10 years should be sufficient for them to defend themselves AND house all the Gazans they've displaced.
I'd be impeached immediately because Congress is full of neocons and neoliberals beholden to the military industrial complex who think that we can afford to fight proxy wars against Russia, Iran, and China at the same time. But hey, not my problem.

That is a fair answer, only superficially.
Dig deeper though, and you send Israel into flames, destruction, and millions of cruel deaths. I say that because iran has armed gazan terrorists (hamas, terrorist palestinians) for years, starting immediately after Israel gave up control of gaza FOR PEACE.
So us not sending any more support to palestinians ...ok, but they win, and radical islam takes over the entire middle east, no going back. Can't undo the Holocaust -
So, stopping all aid to Israel and palestinians would make iran laugh their asses off. With all of the middle east radicial terrorist based - we would have 9/11's right and left because there would be no stopping them over there.
So, per your suggestion, the palestinians will be rolling in iran money, and Israel will suffer and die. Then control of the entire middle east would make the terrorists extremely wealthy, and the whole rest of the world would not be safe from terrorism. That is a pandora's box you would be opening, that can never be closed again, without a major WWIII of gigantic destructive proportions never seen on this earth.
Not much of a solution when you think further on it.

How do you Biden voters like your boy now? He's got us funding not one but two indefinite wars while the American people get shit on. At least he hasn't had any scanda...uh, wait.. at least he hasn't said anything stu...um...at least he hasn't mocked a reporter?
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -

Last week, USA vetoed a UNSC resolution for a ceasefire. This week, US Sec'y of State Blinken now calls for humanitarian pauses to allow people to leave Gaza -
on the news, they had radical civilians demanding to be bombed because they refused to leave.
iran has been planning this for many years. they went for it because our America is divided, disrupted, perverted, and leaderless, and per obaMao commie - a lot of his radical Muslim oriented staffers are apparently running the biden wh.
Meanwhile, this police state gov is allowing terrorists to illegally cross our borders etc etc etc, drug cartel members, etc etc etc......
sure looks like creating so much crisis in America they can declare a national emergency, get past our Constitution, and take power permanently, to me.
Won't work, if I have to defend myself, I can throw an empty root beer can with great Real American gusto.
Meanwhile.....in obaMao and biden's world:

Reported picture of Jabilia aftermath below:
The West isn't going to be able to stomach much more of this. I will be shocked if this doesn't push Hezbollah to start a major offensive.

Most Americans think a ceasefire is a good idea. What I find most surprising about this poll is that over half of registered Republicans agree with the ceasefire. I expect the number in support of a ceasefire will continue to go up as Israel continues to use 2000lb bombs in residential areas (I know, you may as well call me Nostradamus). -
Hamas tunnels were underneath the so called 'refugee camp' which was all buildings by the way. (designated 'refugee camp' by the UN).
