It’s been independently verified, so yes. It’s not just repeating old news, it’s backing up what was initially hearsay. The US don’t announce it until now as it’s been confirmed.
Are you implying that restating newly confirmed facts is biased in favor Israel??
Also, Biden has personally played a big role in the Hamas / Israel talks and getting cease fires and such agreed upon. It’s not like he’s randomly attacking Israeli enemies. We had Americans there so it is further relevant to Biden and the country.
