Gaza Herald– Taher al-Nunu, media advisor to the head of Hamas’ Political Bureau, issued a sharp rebuke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of engaging in systematic deception and evasion of truth.
Speaking to Gaza Herald, al-Nunu asserted that “everything Netanyahu says is a collection of lies.” He stressed that Netanyahu “cannot face the truth” and instead works “to mislead and conceal it.”
Al-Nunu pointed to the ongoing ban on international journalists entering the Gaza Strip as “the clearest and most damning evidence” of Netanyahu’s dishonesty. He argued that if the Israeli leader truly believed in his narrative, he would welcome media scrutiny instead of “erecting a wall of censorship to hide the genocide and the war of starvation” being inflicted on the Palestinian people.
“The world must see Gaza with its own eyes,” al-Nunu declared. “The massacres, the mass displacement, the children dying of hunger—these cannot be hidden forever. Netanyahu fears the cameras because they will expose the full truth.”
He called on the international community, press unions, and human rights organizations to exert immediate pressure on Netanyahu to lift restrictions on journalists and media professionals. “Let them into Gaza,” al-Nunu urged, “to document the reality without filters or propaganda, so that history, and the people of conscience around the world, may judge for themselves.”
Al-Nunu concluded by emphasizing that the freedom of the press is not a privilege granted by any government but a fundamental right that must be defended, particularly in times of war and humanitarian catastrophe.
