CBS's Margaret Brennan asked Secretary of State Antony Blinken on "Face the Nation" whether the U.S. shares the same assessment of Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who she said recently said Israel has killed 14,000 terrorists and 16,000 civilians in its war against the militant group Hamas.
"Yes, we do. And I think the report makes clear that while Israel has processes, procedures, rules, regulations, to try to minimize civilian harm given the impact that these operations, the war in Gaza has had, on the civilian population… those have not been applied consistently," Blinken said in the interview.

Republican Rep. Mike Waltz (Fla.) alleged President Biden's threat to halt weapons to Israel is politically motivated with the November election less than six months away. "I think the reality of us being in an election year now and the election just six months away…I think you have kind of a political and an operation reality there. But…he certainly is withholding aid, and he is obviously doing it for political reasons," Waltz said Sunday in an interview on NewsNation's "The Hill Sunday."
