For those interested, I attach a video of a debate from a couple of days ago on i24 News on the international media coverage of the current Hamas-Israel conflict.
With former Sunday Telegraph Mideast correspondent Tom Gross, Russia Today Mideast bureau chief Paula Slier, and Haaretz’s Netta Ahituv.
Because it is quite long (20 minutes) I won’t include other items in this dispatch.
(There is a small technical pause at the start, but the rest is ok.)
