US President Joe Biden has voiced skepticism over the death toll in Gaza, as reported by the Hamas-controlled Health Ministry, citing a lack of confidence in the numbers provided by the Palestinians. This controversy emerges amidst reports of Israeli forces killing over 6,000 Palestinians, including 2,700 children. Biden acknowledged the tragic reality of civilian casualties in war, but emphasized Israel's responsibility to ensure they're targeting those propagating the conflict. Despite Biden's doubts, the UN and experts maintain the statistics are mostly accurate.

Biden says he is 'sure innocents have been killed' in Israeli strikes on Gaza, but has 'no confidence in' casualty toll from Gaza's Health Ministry
Asked about the high death toll in Gaza, Biden says he doesn't believe "the Palestinians are telling the truth." "I'm sure innocents have been killed and it's the price of waging a war," Biden says. The U.N. & experts say statistics are mostly accurate. https://t.co/j1sxaRdpEk

Biden doesn't have confidence in the Gaza death toll: "I have no notion if Palestinians are telling the truth...I'm sure innocents have been killed & it is the price of waging war..Israel should be incredibly careful to ensure they're going after the folks propagating this war." https://t.co/iOs24eaV4I
Biden when asked about the fact that more than 6,000 Palestinians have been killed so far (per Hamas-run health ministry) "I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed"
A good answer from Biden when asked about “2000” Palestinian children have been killed in Gaza (the number comes from Hamas): “I have no confidence in the number the Palestinians are using.”
Biden & Obama are wrong: Hamas, not Israel, is responsible for every civilian death in Gaza https://t.co/1kebF2MhLd https://t.co/Wh9GmvoTb9
