Financial Times – Biden backs Israel over hospital blast but seeks to broker Gaza aid packages 

Joe Biden has urged Israel not to be “consumed” by rage after Hamas’s deadly raid, to avoid repeating Washington’s “mistakes” following the 9/11 terror attacks, the Financial Times writes. 

During Mr Biden’s visit he also urged the Israeli government to allow emergency aid through to Gaza, and joined Israel in blaming the blast at a Gaza hospital on a misfired rocket by Palestinian militants, the paper said.

Elsewhere on its front, the paper says “stubborn” inflation is maintaining pressure on the Bank of England to hold firm in its efforts to curb price rises.
