Bassal is identified in the article merely as the “Gaza Civil Defense Spokesperson,” with his terror ties omitted from the story. This information receives global media exposure and has caused a severe distortion of the reality on the ground. The video further alleges that international media “eats up his lies,” laundering Hamas statements “without being held accountable.” CNN infamously used Bassal as a source while covering the now-debunked Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion in Gaza, which reporters initially blamed on an errant Israeli airstrike. Major media must heed its own warnings, and stop using a known disinformation super-spreader, and exposed Hamas terrorist, as a source.
