The White House requests explanations from Israel on Gaza graves and calls for transparent inquiry

The White House has expressed concern and a desire for answers from Israel regarding the discovery of mass graves in two hospitals in the Gaza Strip that were destroyed during a recent military offensive. They have stressed the importance of a thorough and transparent investigation into the events.

White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan stated that the information is very worrying and that they have been in contact with the Israeli Government at multiple levels. They want to understand exactly what happened and are seeking detailed information about the circumstances surrounding the mass graves. The White House is calling for a comprehensive investigation so that everyone, including the United States, can have a clear understanding of what occurred.

The Gaza Strip authorities, controlled by Hamas, reported the discovery of more than 320 bodies in graves at Naser Hospital in Khan Younis and another 30 bodies in the Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. While the Israeli Army has denied the accusations, stating that they examined mortal remains as part of their efforts during the raid to locate hostages, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has called for an independent and transparent investigation into the findings.

In light of these disturbing discoveries, there is an urgent need for a thorough examination of the events that unfolded in the Gaza Strip hospitals. Both the White House and the United Nations are calling for transparency and accountability in order to fully understand and address this troubling situation.
