Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett accused CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour of misleading viewers over Israel’s recent handling of Palestinian rioting on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City.
An IDF spokesperson later told Israeli media that Fuchs had never made such remarks to the“What you’ve been projecting is blatantly false,” Bennett told Amanpour. “It’s a lie, simply a lie.”“Yes I can. You’re misrepresenting the facts… I said a tiny minority [of Israeli settlers], and I object [to] the symmetry that you’re trying to create here,” he said.
“But who’s getting murdered? We’re seeing Palestinians murder Israelis. We’re not seeing Israelis murdering Palestinians, and that’s why there’s no symmetry here,” he said. “I also object, these are not occupied territories, they’re territories in dispute, and we have claim to our own place as well as them.”
Amanpour then addressed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and criticized Israel for not condemning Russia more.
