As a result of the Israeli attacks, the death toll in Gaza has reached over 6,500. While the images coming from the region reveal the extent of the tragedy, US President Biden made a statement that drew reaction. Biden said that he 'does not trust' the Palestinian death toll in Gaza.
At the White House press conference, Biden was reminded that more than 2,700 children were killed in Gaza and asked whether this meant that Israel was ignoring US calls to reduce civilian deaths.
