‘Total BULL*** From a LYING Military’’ IDF Takes On Piers Morgan, Mehdi Hasan and Hasan Piker
Summary
Piers Morgan debates the IDF’s new dossier claiming 170 killed Gaza journalists were Hamas militants, with guests Mehdi Hasan, Jonathan Konick, Amit Segal, and Omar Badr. Hasan argues the evidence is flimsy and cites CPJ data proving a record number of journalists were killed, while Konick and Segal defend the military’s actions and dispute civilian casualty figures. The panel clashes over the ongoing ban on international media in Gaza, with critics labeling it a cover-up and defenders citing security concerns.
