Journalists Covering Israel-Hamas War Spotlight Challenges, Lack Of Context & Access Issues – Edinburgh


Israel-Hamas War journalists from ITV, C4 & Haaretz have spotlighted challenges, access and context issues.

Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Yousef Hammash, who has reported from Gaza for the likes of Channel 4, said the international media has “failed” with its bid to inform the public about the Israel-Hamas War since October 7 and give wider context. He concurred with Hammash that years of anti-Palestinian mainstream media reporting before October 7 led to a belief that the Israelis had carte blanche in Gaza once the Hamas attack took place. Lindsey Hillsum, Channel 4 News International Editor, said it is the families of the hostages who are most pushing for a ceasefire, and who are the angriest with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.
