Biden disputes number of civilian deaths reported by health ministry in Gaza
WASHINGTON (AA) – President Joe Biden says Israeli strikes in Gaza have killed civilians, but not so many as the enclave’s health ministry reports.
“I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I’m sure innocents have been killed,” Biden said in response to a question about the civilian death toll in the more than two weeks since Israel began its bombardment of the coastal enclave.
“It’s the price of waging a war,” he said. “I think the Israelis should be incredibly careful to be sure that they’re focusing on going after the folks that are propagating this war against Israel. And it’s against their interests when that doesn’t happen. But I have no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using,” he added.
