Joe Biden privately apologized and vowed to ‘do better’ to a group of Muslim Americans for casting ‘excessive skepticism’ over the number of Palestinian deaths released by the Hamas-run Ministry of Health.
The president, 81, faced five community figureheads who were furious one day after he publicly dismissed a Palestinian death toll on October 25. One person organizing the meeting said the process was a ‘s**tshow.’
