US President Joe Biden has said that an attack on Palestinians waiting for aid in northern Gaza, where humanitarian groups say Israel has severely restricted food assistance over the last several months, will complicate efforts to reach an agreement between Hamas and Israel.

“I know it will,” Biden told reporters when asked if the attack will make a ceasefire more difficult to reach. He added that a pause in the fighting would probably not come by next Monday, as he had predicted in remarks earlier this week.

Biden also said that there are “two competing versions of what happened” during the attack and that the US was “checking” what had happened.

Palestinian witnesses have said that the incident began when Israeli forces opened fire on a crowd that was waiting for food.
