The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • Hamas runs Gaza and has been designated a terrorist organization by the United States and European Union
  • Israel has not publicly accepted or denied responsibility for the killing of Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut
  • The Israeli defense minister's proposal is predicated on Hamas being defeated in Gaza

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • Israel's defense minister proposed a plan for postwar Gaza amid divisions
  • The Israeli security cabinet meeting was turbulent and ended in a blowup after several ministers assailed the military chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, for forming a committee to investigate the military failures that led to attacks on Oct 7

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Hassan Nasrallah, head of Hezbollah, stated that there will be no negotiations to stop fighting until the war in Gaza ends
  • Israel's defeat in Gaza is predicated on the military's ability to maintain control over its borders and ensure reconstruction and economic development in the territory
  • The Israeli plan for postwar Gaza is little more than a series of bullet points

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The author's statement that Israel has successfully defeated Hamas when in reality there have been ongoing clashes between Israelis and Palestinians for decades is misleading
  • The title of the article misleads readers by suggesting a comprehensive plan for postwar Gaza but only briefly mentions Gallant's proposal and does not provide any details about what this plan entails or how it would be implemented
