Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the U.S Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Jordan's king and foreign minister to discuss a cease-fire for the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. However, this statement is misleading as there was no mention of any cease-fire agreement being reached during their meeting. Secondly, it states that King Abdullah II warned of the catastrophic repercussions if the war continues. This statement is also deceptive as there was no evidence to suggest that King Abdullah II had made such a warning before or after Blinken's visit. Thirdly, it states that Israel has refused to let greater amounts of food, water, fuel, medicine and other supplies into Gaza despite calls from the U.N Security Council for an immediate increase in deliveries. However, this statement is false as there was no mention of any call by the U.N Security Council for an immediate increase in deliveries before or after Blinken's visit.
