"Israel's Accusations of Media Collaboration with Hamas: Unveiling the Truth"

HonestReporting, an Israeli media advocacy group, accepted the denials by Reuters, the Associated Press, CNN, and The New York Times that they had no prior knowledge of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel. HonestReporting had questioned whether Palestinian photojournalists had tipped off the news organizations, which had used their images. HonestReporting distanced itself from Israeli government accusations and condemned calls for violence or death threats against media workers. The organization's article brought attention back to the Oct. 7 events, but it did not provide evidence of prior knowledge by the news groups.

Media Outlets Respond to Allegations of Prior Knowledge and Collaboration with Hamas

Reuters has denied allegations made by media advocacy group HonestReporting that it and other international news organizations had prior knowledge of the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israeli civilians and soldiers. HonestReporting raised ethical questions about news coverage, but Reuters stated that it did not have prior knowledge of the attack and did not embed journalists with Hamas. Reuters acquired photographs from Gaza-based freelance photographers who were at the border on the morning of Oct. 7, after the attack had already taken place. The Israeli government has demanded explanations from Reuters and other news organizations regarding the allegations. The Associated Press also denied having prior knowledge of the attack.
