Majd al-Krum Council Denies Israeli Journalist's Claims, Warns of Incitement Campaign

The local council of Majd al-Krum issued a strong statement on Tuesday, September 28, 2026, refuting claims made by Israeli journalist Amit Segal. Segal had alleged the "uprooting of dozens of Israeli flags" in the Majd al-Krum area. The council asserted these reports were entirely false and lacked any factual basis.

The council expressed deep regret over media outlets and journalists publishing such sensitive and serious information without verifying its accuracy with local and official authorities within the town. The statement warned of the dangerous repercussions of spreading inaccurate news, especially given the current sensitive circumstances in the country.

It further indicated that disseminating these rumors directly contributes to ongoing incitement campaigns and delegitimizes the residents of Majd al-Krum, exacerbating tension and unrest. The council urged all media and journalists to exercise the highest degree of professional and ethical responsibility, committing to verifying facts before publication to present a complete, honest, and accurate picture to the public, free from sensationalism and incitement.
