Why is ‘threatened’ in quotation marks?

[–] bigFab@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Because it refers negatively to a western ally. That's why Israel is commiting 'genocide', but thank god is not genocide.

Because they dont have first hand statements, they are just using different israeli sources that independently verified it. Hence the quotes and the "allegedly".

Contacted by the Guardian, a spokesperson for Israel’s prime minister’s office said: “The questions forwarded to us are replete with many false and unfounded allegations meant to hurt the state of Israel.” Cohen did not respond to a request for comment. Bensouda declined to comment.
