‘2 UK-based media outlets linked to Palestinian terror group’
The spokesman for the Israeli embassy in Britain says that two UK-based media outlets — Middle East Monitor and Middle East Eye — have links to Interpal, a pro-Hamas charity classified as a terror organization in Israel and the US.
Writing in The Times of Israel partner Jewish News, Yiftah Curiel names MEMO senior editor Ibrahim Hewitt as a director of Interpal, while quoting a 2014 news report naming the person who registered the MME website as Interpal’s head of policy development.
“The material produced by MEMO and MEE is heavily shared on the official Hamas website and social media accounts,” Curiel writes. “It is not merely copied but proudly displayed with the name of the UK site.”
