White House Urges Israel for Transparency over Gaza Mass Graves Discovery

The White House is expressing concern over the recent discovery of mass graves in two hospitals in the Gaza Strip, which were destroyed during a military offensive. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has stated that the information is very troubling and that they have been in contact with the Israeli government at multiple levels to understand exactly what happened.

The Gaza Strip authorities, controlled by Hamas, reported finding 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 to locate hostages, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has called for an independent and transparent investigation into the findings.

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 urgent need for transparency and accountability is evident as both the White House and the United Nations are urging Israel to provide detailed information about the circumstances surrounding the mass graves.
