A White House spokesman told The Washington Post that President Joe Biden based his comments on allegations by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's spokesman and media reports from Israel regarding accusations leveled against Hamas about beheading Israelis.

The spokesman said that Biden and American officials had not seen the truth about the photos or independently confirmed these reports.

The Israeli military has not yet confirmed the claim that Hamas beheaded children during the weekend attack. An Army spokesperson told The Intercept on Tuesday that they could not confirm this horrific claim.

It is noteworthy that a local Israeli journalist, named Nicole Zedek, who works for the Israeli “i24 News” network, which is close to the Netanyahu family, claimed that she witnessed this horrific scene and said on the air, “It is difficult to explain exactly the large number of victims that happened here.” “Children with their heads cut off,” but it was later dropped on the X platform.

It later turned out that the news was fabricated by an extremist Israeli settler and distributed to the media.

A US administration official also confirmed the same reports to CNN, stressing that Biden had not seen any photos and what Netanyahu told Biden had not been independently verified.
