 Biden's unsubstantiated mention of "beheading" is deemed distortion, lacking supporting evidence and contradicting major international newspapers.

The Biden administration's unwavering support for Israel continues, with Biden likening Hamas fighters to terrorists like ISIS. Biden addressed Jewish community leaders, reiterating claims made by Israeli military sources, emphasizing the importance of Americans seeing the situation.

However, a U.S. National Security Council official clarified that Biden's references were based on media reports, not firsthand images.

Israeli journalist Nicole Zaidik initially asserted child casualties in Kfar Azza, later correcting that soldiers, not civilians, provided the information.
