Original Note:
The shared article misrepresents the meaning of the term "low confidence". A "low-confidence assessment' means that the U.S. intelligence community believes the claims are plausible, but cannot make a stronger assertion because it doesn’t have its own independent confirmation https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/u-s-finds-claims-that-u-n-aid-agency-staff-took-part-in-hamas-attack-credible-957b747e#:~:text=A%20low%2Dconfidence%20assessment%20indicates%20that%20the%20U.S.%20intelligence%20community%20believes%20the%20claims%20are%20plausible%20but%20cannot%20make%20a%20stronger%20assertion%20because%20it%20doesn%E2%80%99t%20have%20its%20own%20independent%20confirmation.%20The%20U.S.%20concluded%20the%20claims%20are%20%E2%80%9Ccredible%2C%E2%80%9D%20a%20U.S.%20official%20said.%C2%A0
