"Jordan Cancels Biden Visit Amid Israel's Gaza Hospital Bombing"

Jordan cancelled President Biden's visit after an Israeli airstrike hit a Gaza hospital, killing hundreds of people. The cancellation highlights the complex history between Jordan and Israel, which includes a peace treaty signed in 1994 but an uneasy relationship due to the Palestinian struggle for statehood. The peace treaty led to increased security cooperation and economic projects between the two countries, but unresolved issues and high-profile incidents have strained relations. Jordan, as the custodian of Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque, has practical concerns as well, including water agreements with Israel and the impact of the Gaza war on its economy. Jordan condemns Israel's bombing and advocates for the resolution of the Palestinian issue.
