Dermer Slams CNN’s Israeli-Palestinian Coverage: You Do Your Viewers a Disservice

Dermer Slams CNN’s Israeli-Palestinian Coverage: You Do Your Viewers a Disservice (Washington Free Beacon)

Israeli ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer slammed CNN for its coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict Thursday on OutFront, telling host Erin Burnett the network did a disservice to viewers by not providing facts and context in their reports on the violence there.

The latest example came with the story of 16 people killed in a U.N. hospital in Gaza during an strike. Although Israel was blamed for the hit, the Israeli militarysaid the attack could very well have come from Hamas in a misfired rocket, and Burnett asked whether Dermer knew more on the matter.

Dermer reminded Burnett Hamas has been using schools, hospitals and other non-military installations as weapon depots.
