Al Jazeera Reporter Cuts off Gaza Hospital Interview After Patient Says Hamas Is Hiding Among Wounded [View all]

https://themessenger.com/news/al-jazeera-reporter-cuts-off-gaza-hospital-interview-after-patient-says-hamas-is-hiding-among-wounded

The Al Jazeera reporter was at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Gaza, interviewing an elderly Palestinian man who said, according to a rough translation: "What's happening is criminal! Why is the resistance hiding among us? Why don't they go to hell and hide there? They are not resistance!"
In the clip, the reporter, whose identity is unclear, then turns away from his interview subject and appears to quickly change the subject. The man continues to talk and tries to follow the journalist, even as he's walking away from him.
