WASHINGTON: According to Reuters, which cites the Palestinian Health Ministry, at least 4,137 Palestinians have died in Gaza as a result of Israeli bombings since October 7. According to the ministry, over 13,000 Palestinians have been hurt, with women, children, and the elderly making up 70% of the casualties. Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden launched a new campaign to persuade Americans that further billions should be allocated to supporting Israel and Ukraine in their conflicts because only US action can prevent global calamity. “The world is held together by the leadership of the United States. America is kept safe by its alliances,” stated Vice President Biden.
