In response to a Wednesday report indicating that several journalists were embedded with Hamas terrorists in the early stages of their attack on Israel, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office issued a sharp condemnation.
“These journalists were accomplices in crimes against humanity; their actions were contrary to professional ethics,” the Prime Minister’s office wrote in a post on X.
“Overnight the GPO (Government Press Office) issued an urgent letter to the bureau chiefs of the media organizations that employed these photographers and sought clarifications on the matter,” the post reads. “The National Public Diplomacy Directorate demands that immediate action be taken.”
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid is also demanding answers from U.S. media outlets.
“The same way the international media is always asking for a response from us- we are now demanding a response from them,” Lapid wrote in a post on X early Thursday.
