New York Times admits story of "starving" Mohammed Zakaria al-Matawak from Gaza is fake

The only "evidence" of famine in Gaza turned out to be a modern anti-Semitic bloody slander against Israel.

After The New York Times (and after it Daily Express, The Guardian, Politico, Haaretz and others) reproduced a photo of a boy from Gaza allegedly "dying of hunger" because of Israel, the publication was forced to admit its deliberate lie: the child, Mohammed Zakaria al-Matawak, actually had a rare genetic disease, because of which he was always extremely thin.

The New York Times article about "starving" Mohammed was posted on the main page of the site with 80 million visitors and published in an X-account with 55 million subscribers (in total - 135 million, not counting hundreds of millions of views from those who reprinted it).

But the New York Times preferred to publish the apology on its most inconspicuous page in X with 88,000 subscribers. So that no one notices. And without deleting the main article.

The only "evidence" of famine in Gaza turned out to be a modern anti-Semitic bloody slander against Israel.

And we will keep silent about the immorality of using a seriously ill child from the Gaza Strip for the purpose of anti-Israeli propaganda. Everything is clear here anyway.

Here it is, the very level of "high journalism".
