‘Too many jumped to conclusions’: UK chides media on Gaza hospital blast

British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly blasts those in the media who quickly blamed Israel for the Gaza hospital blast, tweeting that “too many jumped to conclusions around the tragic loss of life at Al Ahli hospital.”

“Getting this wrong would put even more lives at risk,” continues Cleverly, who was in Israel days after the October 7 massacre. “Wait for the facts, report them clearly and accurately.”

“Cool heads must prevail,” he adds.

Last night, too many jumped to conclusions around the tragic loss of life at Al Ahli hospital.

Getting this wrong would put even more lives at risk.

Wait for the facts, report them clearly and accurately.

Cool heads must prevail.

Cleverly earlier condemned the bombing, without assigning blame.
