"Tom Cotton Calls for Federal Investigation into Media Outlets' Alleged Ties with Hamas"

US Senator Tom Cotton has called for a federal investigation and potential criminal charges against US news outlets, including The New York Times, CNN, the Associated Press, and Reuters, after freelance photographers embedded with Hamas were accused of having prior knowledge of the terror group's attack on Israel. Cotton alleges that providing support or assistance to a terrorist organization like Hamas is a federal crime. The news organizations deny any prior knowledge of the attack, and the nonprofit Honest Reporting, which raised questions about the embedded photographers, has accepted their denials. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the news outlets for working with the Hamas embeds, calling them "accomplices in crimes against humanity."
