The Biden administration countered the move by what one critic called 'doubling down on genocide denial.'
In a pointed riposte to U.S. President Joe Biden—who said he has 'no confidence' in Gaza casualty figures provided by Hamas, Palestinian health officials on Thursday released a 212-page list identifying 6,747 people killed by Israeli air and artillery attacks on the besieged enclave since October 7. The Gaza Health Ministry published the names, ages, genders, and civil identification numbers of 6,747 Palestinian victims of Israeli attacks, including 2,665 children.
The ministry accused the Biden administration of accepting all of the Israeli government's claims 'without any verification or scrutiny' and 'devoid of all... morals and basic human rights values that it sings about.' On Wednesday, Biden—who earlier this month declared his 'rock-solid and unwavering' commitment to Israel—said during a White House press conference that he was 'sure innocents have been killed, and it's the price of waging a war.
