How Western media framed the Israeli attack on Nasser Hospital

On MEE Live, presenter James Schneider examines how Western media coverage obscured Israel's attack on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital on Thursday. At least seven Palestinians, including a doctor and patients, were killed in an Israeli air strike on the hospital in Khan Younis. Over dozens of others were wounded, with the strike damaging the hospital's surgical wing. Schneider highlights the framing used by The New York Times, which had Israeli claims that Hamas had established a command centre inside the hospital complex in the subheading. The attack comes amid continued Israeli violations of the October 2025 ceasefire and a wider assault on Gaza's healthcare infrastructure. More than 1,800 medical facilities have been partially or completely destroyed since the genocide began, according to a joint UN, World Bank and EU assessment.
