The words at the bottom of the screen said “Palestinian P.M. Arrested.” Yet when Kate Wheeler of Canada’s CTV interviewed Middle East Bureau Chief Janis Mackey Frayer about Ismail Haniyeh’s attempt to smuggle $35 million in cash into Gaza, it was clear that no such arrest was made.
Frayer accurately reported that a deal was reached allowing Haniyeh to enter Gaza while the suitcases of money would be transferred directly to the PA treasury. To add to the Prime Minister’s woes, he received a too-close-for-comfort 21-gun salute from unidentified gunmen trying to kill him. Responding to HonestReporting-Canada, CTV apologized for the error.
