White House clarifies Biden's remarks related to Hamas, Israeli children
President Biden and other US officials have not personally verified the claim that Hamas militants beheaded Israeli children: White House.
Washington: A recent statement by US President Joe Biden has come under scrutiny.
President Biden had repeated unverified reports that Hamas had been responsible for the deaths of nearly 40 Israeli children, expressing shock at the prospect of such brutality.
However, the White House has moved swiftly to clarify the situation, emphasizing that neither President Biden nor other US officials have independently confirmed these allegations.
The source of this contentious information appears to be claims made by the Israeli president's spokesman and reports from Israeli media.
President Biden's remarks were based on these sources, which were subsequently met with skepticism by several media outlets and international observers.
Hamas, the militant organization governing the Gaza Strip, has been a focal point of controversy during the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict.
The group has faced accusations of spreading misinformation and propaganda, further complicating the complexities of an already volatile situation.
While the conflict continues, US intelligence agencies have also made headlines, as they reportedly expressed surprise at the scale of Hamas's attacks.
