Jordan called off the president’s planned summit with Arab leaders after a deadly explosion at a Gaza hospital killed hundreds.
By Colleen Long, Aamer Madhani and Chris Megerian, Associated PressPresident Joe Biden walks up the steps of Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023, as he heads to Israel.
The cancellation reflects an increasingly volatile situation that will test the limits of American influence in the region as Biden visits Wednesday.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, bouncing back and forth between Arab and Israeli leadership ahead of Biden’s visit, spent seven and a half hours meeting Monday in Tel Aviv in an effort to broker some kind of aid agreement and emerged with a green light to create a plan on how aid can enter Gaza and be distributed to civilians.
“He believes the only way to get inside the Israelis’ heads is to demonstrate profound empathy, but also to be there,” Alterman said.
