The US House of Representatives passed an amendment preventing the State Department from citing death toll figures from the Gaza Ministry of Health, with Rep. Rashida Tlaib highlighting over 37,700 Palestinians killed, including 15,000 children, during the Israel-Hamas conflict. The amendment, supported by a bipartisan group, aims to stop the use of Gaza Health Ministry statistics, which Israel criticizes for alleged inflation. Tlaib condemned the decision as 'genocide denial' and accused lawmakers of dehumanizing Palestinians, sparking international debate on the conflict's toll and reporting accuracy.
