The Biden administration is facing increased calls to halt its weapons sales to Israel, after a letter recently published in a top British medical journal warned that the human toll from the ongoing offensive in Gaza is far worse than anticipated.

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller confirmed on Tuesday that the Biden administration has seen the Lancet letter, saying, “Whatever the number of civilians that have actually died as a result of this conflict, we know that it’s far too many.” During a press meeting on Tuesday, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said that the US is aware that the death toll in Gaza “could very well be more” than what has been reported.renewed their demands that the Biden administration immediately halt their military and financial support for Israel, which continues to face accusations at the international level of committing genocide against Palestinians.
