I don't think that's an accurate characterization of the amendment. Assuming the "no funds for" is effective as a prohibition on the text that follows (which I don't think it is), US officials could still cite Israel's own estimates of the total death toll, which are not much different.

it's a stupid amendment that is, at best, pretty vague. (cite GHM statistics for what? cite them publicly? cite them internally? cite them critically? uncritically? etc. etc.). but the claims that it prohibits all mention of the death toll in Gaza are wrong

Or even truthful Israeli media data, which tend to lay between official Israeli govt data and Hamad. And have been shown to propagandize less than either.
