The US State Department withdraws Biden’s statement on the number of casualties in Gaza.
On Thursday, the US State Department tried to retract the president’s statements about the number of martyrs in Gaza.
The spokesperson of the US State Department retracted the statements of US President Joe Biden, who said that he did not trust the Palestinian statistics about the martyrs of Gaza.
“We know that a large number of people have been killed in Gaza, but we do not have direct confirmation of the figures,” said the spokesperson of the US diplomatic service.
An hour earlier, the Huffington Post newspaper identified at least 20 cases of former US officials citing statistics from the Gaza Ministry of Health regarding the number of Palestinian martyrs.
The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, published a 212-page document containing the names and identification numbers of 7028 Palestinian martyrs who were martyred in the attacks of the Zionist regime.
On Wednesday, while hosting Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at the White House, the US President answered the question that the Palestinian Ministry of Health stated that the death toll was more than 6,500. I don’t have the statistics that the Palestinians are using.”
“I have no opinion on (whether) the Palestinians are telling the truth about the death toll,” Biden claimed. “I am sure that innocent people have been killed and that is the price of starting a war.”
These statements were made in the context that since the beginning of the Al-Aqsa storm operation, the Palestinian resistance forces against the Zionists, the United States, and other Western countries have been providing all-round support to this regime, and Washington has become the leader of military aid from Tel Aviv.
US President Joe Biden has repeatedly taken a stand against Hamas since the start of the Al-Aqsa storm operation, and claimed on Wednesday evening that “Hamas has not represented the majority of the Palestinian people.”
According to the American president, “Hamas carried out its attacks on Israel with the aim of preventing the process of normalizing relations between Israel and the Arab countries”.
