Following news of an Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, which killed at least 20 people, including five journalists, President Donald Trump voiced his disapproval of Israeli strike on Gaza hospital.

When asked about the Oval Office incident, Trump said,"When did this happen? I was unaware of that. I’m not happy about it and I don’t want to see it … at the same time, we have to end that whole nightmare.”

Widespread condemnation followed the dual strike, in which the second impact targeted rescuers and medical personnel who were on their way to assist the injured.

The deaths of journalists were confirmed by news organizations such as Reuters, AP, and Al Jazeera. Israel's military responded by admitting to striking close to the hospital, describing the event as a "tragic mishap," and opening an investigation.

Reactions were quick around the world.

Israel was accused by the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate and the Committee to Protect Journalists of attacking journalists on purpose. While U.N. officials, WHO, and other rights groups called for accountability and urged that hospitals and the press continue to be protected under international law, French President Emmanuel Macron denounced the strike as "intolerable."
