Israeli analyst: Media is ‘shirking responsibility’ in saying ‘hunger in Gaza is Hamas’ fault’

From DW News.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed "profound shock" over videos released by Hamas showing two emaciated hostages in Gaza. Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has responded to the videos as well. He spoke at the flashpoint Temple Mount in Jerusalem, known to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif, and reiterated his call for Israel to occupy the entire Gaza Strip. DW speaks to Israeli analyst Mairav Zonszein as to whether Israeli media – in addition to showing footage of Israeli hostages – adequately shows images of starving Palestinians.
