The Israel-Palestine conflict is once again at the center of global attention, and the role of Western media in shaping public perception and opinion about this protracted struggle is under scrutiny. The Israeli government and the Palestinian leadership, each backed by their respective echo chambers, present their own version of events and perspectives. However, the role of a large section of Western media in this context often becomes a point of contention, as some argue that it has not always provided a fair and objective portrayal of the situation.

To delve into this topic, CGTN's Sr. International Editor Abhishek G. Bhaya spoke with Damascus, Syria-based British independent investigative journalist Vanessa Beeley, who has worked extensively in the Middle East and reported from conflict zones in Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Palestine, and Yemen. The views expressed in the video are her own and not necessarily those of CGTN.
