President Joe Biden is not going to apologize for questioning the civilian death numbers coming out of Hamas-controlled Gaza or for calling Palestinian deaths “the price” of the terrorist group waging a war on Israel, the White House said.

The original remarks, condemned by the nation’s largest Muslim advocacy group, The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as “shocking” and “dehumanizing,” were made by President Biden on Wednesday during a joint press conference alongside Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
