(It removes foreign words in Intro and paragraph 22; there is no other change in the text)

Jerusalem (Reuters) -Israeli news media in Gaza’daki Gaza’daki the desire to critically explore, the militant group Hamas’ın two weakened Israeli hostages have released videos in recent weeks evaporated in recent weeks.

In late July, while the images of Hunger, Ghazans’ images of starvation, mixed international screams, some Israeli press and publishers began to carry reports about the worsening conditions there and called for a more solid aid response.

Yonit Levi, the main news anchor of Channel 12, called humanitarian crises in Gaza as a “moral failure” and applied to help Hunking Ghazans, the presidents of some universities and the National Holocaust Monument.

The Israeli media focused greatly on the impact of Trauma and Hamas’ attack on the Israelis on the Israelis in the 22 -month war, where Israel had killed about 1,200 people and took 251 hostage. The scope focused on the fate of hostages and the losses of the Israeli Army exposed.

Some Israelis welcomed Levi’s interpretation and the emergence of reports discussing the conditions in Gaza and the impact of the war on Palestinian civilians.

However, the mood in Israel was significantly hardened when Hamas, 21 -year -old Israel Pledge Rom Rom Braslavski on July 31, published a video of the skeleton in which he was crying and suffering. Three days later, 24 -year -old Evyatar David watched a video saying that he was forced to dig his grave.

The videos of a Palestinian source were designed to show the terrible effect of limited aid flows in Gaza – backfire and increased sympathy in Israel closed to civilians there.

Thousands of protesters between Hamas’s international condemnation went to the streets in Israel to request the hostages to return immediately. Approximately 50 hostages are still in Gaza, but only 20 are still alive.

Uri Dagon, the editor -in -chief of Israel’s most circulating newspaper Yisrael Hayom, said that the Israeli organized by Hamas in Gaza does not have the ability to experience the pain of the other side. “

Orum I know it sounds terrible, but that’s the truth, ”he said.

Dagon accused foreign media of entering the “lie campaign” about the hunger in Gaza: his article stressed that Hamas would be accused of being accused of painful articles there. He questioned why foreign sales points that publish photographs of weakened Grazans were not the same as the sad images of Evyatar David.

“I recommend senior editors in the international press examination, and then I discuss how the Israeli press carries out itself.” He said.

Hunger denials

After October 7, most of the Palestinians approved the attack, surveyed anger in Israel. Immediately after the print, crowded gazans videos around hostages filmed on their mobile phones, spit them and beat them.

Harel Chorev, a senior researcher at Tel Aviv University, specializing in media and Palestinian society, said that such events make it difficult for many Israelis to sympathize with people in Gaza.

The international media, which is banned from entering Gaza by Israel, rely on Palestinian journalists, while many Israelis believe very little in their reports. Some say the lack of press freedom in Gaza under Hamas’s authoritarian administration.

28 -year -old Orit Maimon, a lawyer from Tel Aviv, said, “I don’t think there’s a famine in Gaza.” “I don’t think the situation is ideal or very good, but I don’t think it’s famine.”

Gaza Ministry of Health, since the beginning of the war, including 101 children, including 222 people died of hunger and malnutrition, he said.

The right -wing channel 14 has been devoted to discredit some of the reports that have been starving in recent weeks. When it is discovered that a child in the British Daily Express newspaper has a pre -existing health status, some Israeli sales points reacted angrily.

A survey published by the Israeli Institute of Democracy, a Jerusalem -based thinking tank, thinks that 78% of Jewish Israelis made a significant effort to prevent Israel’s pain of Palestine, that only 15% can do more and not to do.

The Israeli attack makes reporting in Gaza dangerous. According to the Palestinian Journalists Union, a professional organ, Israel has killed more than 230 journalists in Gaza since November. Reuters could not confirm these figures independently.

Israel refused to target journalists intentionally and said that most of those killed were members of militant groups working under the guise of the press.

On Sunday, the Israeli army said that he killed an Al Jazeera journalist in an air attack: 28 -year -old Anas Al Sharif accused him of being a Hamas cell leader. Al Sharif rejected Israel’s charges before he was killed, and said he was aimed at reporting his rights defenders Al Sharif.

According to Gaza Health officials, more than 61,000 Palestinians were killed by Israel’s military campaign

Criticism of the government

The surveys during the war found that approximately 70% of the Israeli people wanted to see that even if Israel’s war means to end the war immediately, they wanted to see a agreement to release hostages.

A few Israeli media criticized Netanyahu for not being able to bring the hostages to the hostages or did not declare an open plan for Gaza after the conflict. Among the most obvious oral critics was the left -handed newspaper Haaretz, who published important reports about the pain in Gaza, including the investigation parts of the army operations.

In November, Netanyahu’s cabinet, which includes extreme right ultratational parties, confirmed to the authorities who spoke with Haaretz, and the newspaper’s advertisement boycotting the advertisement and accused of supporting “enemies of the state in the middle of a war”.

The Israeli Prime Minister’s office refused to comment for this story.

Netanyahu’s ministers gave an offer to privatize Kanal 11, a spokesman for the Likud party, a spokesman for serving Radikal left and for damaging the morale of the Israelis. Some media experts warned that this may have a creepy effect on the government’s scope.

Asa Shapira, the Head of Tel Aviv University Marketing and Advertising Studies, said that the government’s actions affect the decree of Israeli channels.

He said that although the editorial decisions to focus on the fate of Israeli hostages is a response to the concern of the public, the government said that the government would not approve.
