Palestinian National Authority accuses Israel: “Fabricated media material”

The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) released a document alleging that a preliminary investigation by Israeli police revealed that Israel “fabricated” media material to justify its attack on Gaza. In a statement from its Foreign Ministry, the AP said Israeli helicopters bombed Israeli civilians on October 7 during the Supernova music festival. The statement questions Israeli accounts of that day’s atrocities and visual material documenting the destruction and fires that engulfed the area near the Gaza border, and calls on all media outlets, UN officials and national leaders to follow and analyze what the Jewish media publishes. .

The statement follows US President Joe Biden’s words that the “revitalized” PA should govern the Gaza Strip after the war, something that Israel has repeatedly rejected, having always refused to condemn the October 7 attack launched by the Hamas, recalls the Times of Israel. The claim that an IDF helicopter that arrived at the festival site near Reim on October 7 may have killed some Israeli civilians was first made in Haaretz based on an anonymous Israeli police source and was widely reported in the Arab press , but out of context. The police then made it known that the investigation focused solely and exclusively on the activities of their men and not on those of the IDF; for this reason it did not provide “any indication of harm to civilians due to aerial activity there.” The army had previously said it would investigate the October 7 attacks after the war.
