The union stated that some of those media outlets retracted their false narrative after their lies were exposed and apologized, while others did not retract or apologize despite the exposure of the falsity and deception.
It pointed to some examples of major media violations and failures in the media, including news reports on the Israeli “I24” channel, where its correspondent, “Nicole Zedek,” indicated the presence of a number of infants who were found beheaded in the “Kfar Ezza” settlement, where the news was even reported by The American president adopted the story and repeated it, before the reporter herself retracted her allegations.
