"What they say to me is I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I'm sure innocents have been killed, and it's the price of waging a war," Biden said. Reuters has been unable to independently verify casualty figures in the fighting, which began with an Oct. 7 Hamas gun rampage in southern Israel that Israeli authorities say killed 1,400 people.In the U.S., the Council on American-Islamic Relations said it was"deply disturbed" by Biden's comments on the Gaza figures, and called on the president to apologize.
