The New York Times has reached a new low by publishing an outrageous op-ed written by Gaza City’s Hamas-appointed mayor, Yahya R. Sarraj. In the piece, Sarraj complains about the damage to buildings in Gaza as Israeli forces work to free hostages taken by Hamas terrorists. This shameless article was released on Christmas Eve and is filled with lies and anti-Israel propaganda.
New York Times Criticized for Publishing Hamas Politician’s Op-Ed https://t.co/vFtB9mnlUs

Sarraj’s op-ed, titled “I Am Gaza City’s Mayor. Our Lives and Culture Are in Rubble,” is nothing more than a pathetic attempt to elicit sympathy for the terrorist organization Hamas. He shamelessly blames Israel for the destruction in Gaza while completely ignoring the fact that it was Hamas terrorists who killed and kidnapped Israeli, American, and other civilians.
The audacity of Sarraj to condemn the Israeli invasion while conveniently ignoring the deadly actions of Hamas is truly sickening. He mourns the destruction of infrastructure and cultural institutions in Gaza, but fails to acknowledge the role of Hamas in perpetuating violence and terror in the region. It’s clear that Sarraj’s op-ed is nothing more than a propaganda tool for Hamas, and The New York Times should be ashamed for giving him a platform to spread his lies.
In addition to the disgraceful op-ed itself, it’s been revealed that The New York Times failed to disclose the fact that Sarraj is a Hamas appointee. This is a clear example of the newspaper’s bias and willingness to promote the agenda of terrorist organizations. The publication of Sarraj’s op-ed has sparked widespread outrage from those who recognize the shameless propaganda for what it is.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been tirelessly working to free the hostages taken by Hamas terrorists since October 7. Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant has made it clear that Israel will not hesitate to take decisive action to protect its people. The publication of Sarraj’s op-ed by The New York Times only serves to further highlight the paper’s anti-Israel bias and disregard for the truth.
The New York Times should be held accountable for its shameful decision to give a platform to Hamas propaganda. It’s time for the newspaper to prioritize truth and integrity over promoting the lies and deceit of terrorist organizations like Hamas. The publication of Sarraj’s op-ed is a disgrace, and The New York Times must be held accountable for its reckless and biased journalism.
