In the midst of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, United States President Joe Biden has cast doubt on the accuracy of the Palestinian death toll in Gaza. Despite the Palestinian Health Ministry's release of a detailed list documenting the deaths of over 7,000 Palestinians, including nearly 3,000 children, Biden stated that he has "no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using." Critics argue that Biden's remarks serve to dehumanize Palestinians and dismiss their suffering, while Palestinian rights advocates condemn his administration's continued support for Israel's bombing campaign. Human rights experts, including those at the United Nations, have long found the Palestinian Health Ministry's data to be reliable. Biden's doubts come as the US resists calls for a ceasefire and pledges military support for Israel. With foreign journalists and researchers barred from entering Gaza, the health ministry has become a key source for understanding the Palestinian death count. In response to Biden's comments, the ministry released a 212-page list containing the names and identification numbers of 6,747 people it claims have been killed in Gaza since the conflict began. However, the accuracy of this list has yet to be independently verified.
