Watan-The Israeli newspaper, “The Jerusalem Post,” recently confessed to disseminating a misleading report about the Israeli military’s actions in Gaza, subsequently removing it later on.<\/p>\n
The controversy began when the newspaper published a story concerning the body of a Palestinian infant who had been killed in an Israeli airstrike, claiming it was merely a “doll.”<\/p>\n
The article in question pertained to five-month-old Palestinian infant, Mohammad Hani Al-Zahar, who lost his life when Israeli forces targeted his home in the Maghazi area of Gaza.<\/p>\n
In a recent development, the Israeli newspaper faced criticism for accusing Al Jazeera of disseminating footage depicting a man carrying a “doll.”<\/p>\n
However, subsequent investigations revealed that the body in question belonged to a newborn infant who lost his life during the Israeli<\/a> aggression on Gaza. Following this revelation, the newspaper issued a statement expressing regret and formally apologized for the misleading news, confirming its removal.<\/p>\n In a statement released on the “X” platform, the Israeli newspaper acknowledged its error, stating, “We shared an article based on inaccurate sources. The article did not meet our editorial standards and, therefore, has been removed.”<\/p>\n Over the weekend, we shared an article based on faulty sourcing. The article in question did not meet our editorial standards and was thus removed.<\/p>\n We take this matter seriously and will be handling it internally in order to prevent similar incidents from reoccurring.<\/p>\n We\u2026<\/p>\n \u2014 The Jerusalem Post (@Jerusalem_Post) December 2, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe newspaper’s apology for misinformation stated<\/h3>\n
