Media Missteps and the Gaza Hospital Blast: Uncovering the Truth

These outlets amplified Hamas' claims that Israel was responsible for the blast, despite subsequent evidence suggesting otherwise. Reuters defended its coverage, stating that it is standard practice to publish claims made by sources while working to verify information. CNN, which initially reported Israel's responsibility without attribution, declined to comment on the error.

Global Outrage: Pro-Palestinian Rallies and Riots Shake Jordan and Lebanon

Pro-Palestinian rallies have erupted worldwide following an explosion at a hospital in Gaza, with demonstrations taking place in Bahrain, Cairo, Barcelona, and Washington, D.C. In Washington, hundreds of demonstrators, including progressive Jewish groups, protested inside a congressional office building, demanding a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. Capitol Police made approximately 300 arrests. The event was organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, a group with a history of anti-Israel activism. Rep. Rashida Tlaib blamed Israel for the hospital explosion and called for a ceasefire, going against President Biden's stance. The death toll from the blast is disputed, with Hamas initially reporting 500 deaths and U.S. intelligence estimating it to be between 100 and 300.
