The president of the United States, Joe Biden, assured leaders of the Jewish community in the country on Wednesday that the attack by the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas against Israel was “pure cruelty” and who never thought he would see “images of terrorists beheading children“. However, after the White House has denied the presidentclarifying that he did not see said images.

“This is not about revenge, but about decency,” added Biden, according to whom the Hamas offensive “was pure cruelty, simply hateful cruelty against the Jewish people, and I would say that it is the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust”. “It is important for Americans to see what is happening. I have been doing this for a long time and I never thought I would see and have confirmed images of terrorists beheading children,” he said in that meeting, denying Hamas’ position.

Then the White House itself has rectified Biden’s statements. The institution has assured that Neither the president nor US officials have seen these images. In a statement to EFE, a spokesperson for the Democratic Administration clarified that the president made these statements based on statements that the Israeli Government has given “publicly.”

According to the newspaper ‘The Washington Post’, which was the first to report on the Biden Government’s rectification, the White House has explained that “neither the president nor government officials have seen the images or have been able to confirm the reports” of these facts”independently”.

Hamas, for its part, denied this Wednesday having “killed children, beheaded and attacked civilians” during his attack on Israel on Saturday, in response to what he called “fabricated accusations of Israeli soldiers about massacres perpetrated in kibbutzs by these militiamen. Hamas’ statements came shortly after the Israeli Army denounced that the militants had killed “women, children, babies and the elderly who were brutally massacred in the manner of the Islamic State” during the attack on the Kfar Aza kibbutz.
