The Israeli prime minister accused CNN’s Christiane Amanpour of “blatant lies” and “inaccuracies” as she aggressively promoted a “both sides” agenda that minimizes the value of Israeli life.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was interviewed on Wednesday by CNN’s Christiane Amanpour and he didn’t let her get away with statements he called “blatant lies” and “inaccuracies.”
CNN’s record of reporting on Israel is littered with problematic headlines, one-sided accounts, and agenda-driven coverage.
Bennett refused to let Amanpour get away with defaming the Jewish state.
There’s a constant cycle of bloodshed between Israelis and Palestinians. Can @IsraeliPM @naftalibennett spend political capital to finally end that? He says, “I object to the notion of ‘both sides’… When they do attack us, I have to fight back & hit them at their terror bases.” pic.twitter.com/0bTPKTbUPC

Maj. Gen. Yehuda Fuchs, commander of Israeli troops in the West Bank, told the @nytimes in February he was concerned about what he called “settler terrorism” – I put that @IsraeliPM @naftalibennett. Hear his response. pic.twitter.com/ppRJxwPmTO
