There has been concern expressed by the White House regarding the discovery of mass graves in two hospitals in the Gaza Strip that were destroyed during a recent military offensive. The White House has stressed the importance of a thorough and transparent investigation into the events, with National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan stating that this information is very worrying.
The White House has been in contact with the Israeli government at multiple levels to understand exactly what happened and seek detailed information about the circumstances surrounding the mass graves. They are 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 discovering more than 320 bodies in graves at Naser Hospital in Khan Younis and another 30 bodies in Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. While Israel’s Army denied these accusations, stating that they examined mortal remains as part of their efforts to locate hostages during the raid, it was not an independent and transparent investigation called for by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
In light of these disturbing discoveries, there is an urgent need for transparency and accountability to fully understand and address this troubling situation. Both the White House and United Nations are calling for transparency and accountability to ensure justice is served and human rights are respected.
