According to the Pentagon’s spokesperson, he said “Regarding
civilian casualties in Gaza... we know that the numbers are in the thousands,”
Al Mamlaka TV reported.
Last month, Biden stated that he "
doesn't trust the accuracy of the death toll announced by the Palestinians" in the Gaza
Strip. Following this, the Ministry of Health in Gaza published the names of
thousands of casualties. Meanwhile, the Ministry is now reporting that the
latest casualties are over 10,000 since October 7.
