New Delhi: The White House on Thursday played down media reports speculating the Hamas' October 7 terror strike on Israel - in which over 1,400 people were killed - was linked to plans announced last month for an India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor.
National Security Council's Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby, said President Joe Biden had been "misunderstood"; he had been quoted, "I'm convinced one of the reasons Hamas attacked when they did... I have no proof... is because of progress towards regional integration for Israel..."
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - who has vowed to kill every member of Hamas, and whose government has compared the group to "animals" - has said his goal is "saving the nation (Israel)" and is expected to shortly order a ground incursion. Israeli tanks crossed the Gaza border yesterday.
