19 Months Later: CNN Finally Addresses Gaza War Crimes

Gaza War Crimes: CNN's Delayed Coverage Sparks Outrage London, UK – A video posted by CodePink activist Medea Benjamin has ignited a fresh wave of debate about the international response to the ongoing Gaza conflict. The video highlights a CNN interview with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, where the term "war crimes" was used in relation to the events in Gaza. This is noteworthy, Benjamin argues, because the interview took place 19 months after the events in question. "It's been 19 hellish months," Benjamin states in the video, "and finally, mainstream TV pundits are beginning to say the word 'war crimes'." The video includes clips from the CNN interview, showing Olmert acknowledging the severity of the situation. Benjamin's commentary underscores the long-standing concerns about the lack of accountability for alleged war crimes in Gaza and calls for an end to US funding and military support for Israel. The video's release has prompted renewed calls for a thorough investigation into the events in Gaza and increased scrutiny of US foreign policy in the region. The timing of the CNN interview, so long after the events, has raised questions about the role of media in shaping public perception of international conflicts. The video serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the need for international action to address the root causes of the conflict.
