Israel-Palestine War: Orthodox Church Bombed. Biden Compares Hamas With Putin
The Isarel-Palestine is trading on a ferocious track now. As the deadly war entered to its 13th day, Israel has bombed a church in the Gaza city. The Greek Orthodox Saint Porphyrius Church was bombed and dozens of Christians were injured. Several Palestinians got stuck under the rubble. The attack came days after the alleged Israeli air strike has bombed Al Ahli Baptist hospital in which around 500 were killed.
The Greek Orthodox patriarchate remarked the attack to “constitute war crime”. The church was sheltering hundreds of civilians before the bombing. While talking to Al Jazeera, Father Elias, a priest at the church, earlier said that Israel has already bombed “many places of sanctuary” and that he could not guarantee whether the church will be spared by the Israeli forces.
Meanwhile, US President said America cannot let petty partisan politics get in the way of “our great nation” and compared Hamas with Putin. He said America refuse to let “terrorist like Hamas and tyrants like Putin win”.
We cannot—and will not—let terrorists like Hamas and tyrants like Putin win.
