That's not true. Many independent estimates have been made. Israel doesn't release any numbers at all, which they could easily do if they wanted to claim that casualty numbers were falsified.

I don't see what Israel could possibly provide which the people who mischaracterize war as "genocide" would find compelling. Are they going to produce examples of claimed casualties who actually turn out to be alive or imaginary? Well - surprise - they've done that.
If the war is indeed mischaracterized, then Israel sharing figures would provide an alternative source to the "Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry" for those who haven't already decided who's correct or don't trust those numbers. If Israel doesn't care to provide any information, then they are tacitly agreeing that the "Hamas" numbers are correct. That's just common sense politics.
This is a bit pointless since whatever number you're given, if more than ~1,200 Gazans have been killed, you'll continue to assert that this defensive and provoked war is a "genocide" due to your misunderstanding of how proportionality is defined.
