Portugal’s foreign minister opined on Wednesday that the “information that it could have been an Islamic Jihad missile” that caused Tuesday’s explosion at a hospital in Gaza “seems to be a fairly consolidated idea.”
“We heard very detailed explanations from the Israeli military this morning. We have no information ourselves. However, the information that it could be an Islamic Jihad missile seems to be a fairly well-established idea.”João Gomes Cravinho declared to journalists in Namur, Belgium.
When asked whether the possibility of an Israeli missile hitting Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City has been ruled out, the minister replied: “I have no concrete information. I have heard a very detailed explanation from the Israeli army pointing to an Islamic Jihad missile. I am not aware of any concrete information on the possibility of it being an Israeli missile. “.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, who is in Belgium after the state visit of the President of the Republic Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, once again regretted the deaths of hundreds of people in the air raid that hit this hospital.
‘It’s an absolutely tragic situation’he considered.
The Health Ministry of the Gaza Strip, an enclave controlled by Hamas, blames the Israeli forces for the attack.
Israel denied responsibility for the attack and attributed the explosion to a failure by the Islamic Jihad group.
