While accepting that ‘innocents have been killed’, the president did not say why he was sceptical.
WASHINGTON: US president Joe Biden said on Wednesday he has “no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using” for the death toll in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, where the health ministry says over 6,500 have been killed in Israeli attacks.
“What they say to me is I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I’m sure innocents have been killed, and it’s the price of waging a war,” Biden said. Reuters has been unable to independently verify casualty figures in the fighting, which began with an Oct 7 Hamas rampage in southern Israel that Israeli authorities say killed 1,400 people.In the US, the Council on American-Islamic Relations said it was “deeply disturbed” by Biden’s comments on the Gaza figures, and called on the president to apologise.
