Times of Israel publishes false claim that Red Cross chief attributed lack of access to hostages to Israel not meeting ‘HAMAS demands’
Late on 23 December 2023, at 11:23pm GMT, the Times of Israel published an article claiming that the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) had blamed Israel for the ICRC’s lack of access to the Israeli hostages kidnapped by HAMAS on October 7, portraying her as intentionally dragging her heels until “Israel must first deal with the demands of the HAMAS terror group,” as the article’s subheading put it.
