  • They complain about the high number of journalists killed in Gaza, and at the same time, they complain about journalists not being allowed in. Which is which?
  • @themotivehunter
    Hardly impartial reporting.... Host is completely in support of Hamas
  • @YAWBOAKYE212
    Why am I only seeing Israeli officials being interviewed. Where are the hamas officials

    If only world media had some platform from which to protest their exclusion from the warzone, perhaps you could have shown light on the atrocity months ago. P.s. you’re all also failing in Sudan.
  • @jmg4881
    Since when has a combatant been responsible to provide aid to their enemy. To even ask a question around this is ridiculous.
  • @aman2112
    With journalists like this guy ...
  • Ukraine has blocked war corespondents since 2023. Between a general and a journalist why am I the only one who knows this???
  • @Evergreen0021
    If they won't allow press in then stop giving them a press platform.
  • @ckhome8907
    Maybe this journalist can ask Hamas to allow him to follow them into battle. Why not?
  • ABOUT TIME you got the MEDIA out of your way!!!!! THE MEDIA FEEDS THE FLAME!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • If you want to know the no of death go to rafa and count them its the nature of war people died
  • @WizardOVOz
    This seems like a dumb argument, Israel won’t want anymore journalists to die or be accused of killing more of them. The media complains they aren’t being granted access but at the same time criticize so many have died.

    The rudeness of British journalists is unbearable. Rude, agressive and argumentative. No way to give a reasonable interview to British journalists. What a patience anybody must have to be subjected to the utter disrespect of a pseudo proud "journalist" such as this one. In my country no jounalist behaves this way. They are very respectful and friendly even while disagreeing.
