Israel will no longer automatically accept blame for incidents based solely on Palestinian allegations, according to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office. This marks a significant shift in the government's public relations approach, which has historically been criticized for accepting responsibility and "bowing its head" to coordinated anti-Israel campaigns, often amplified by leading Israeli media outlets.
The new directive aims to prevent the automatic acceptance of blame before allegations are proven, particularly those originating from Palestinian sources. The statement references the case of Muhammad al-Durrah in 2000 as a historical example of Israel allegedly accepting blame prematurely.
Furthermore, the Prime Minister's Office expressed hope that Israeli media will adopt a more responsible and journalistic approach. It urged them to conduct thorough investigations into Palestinian claims against Jewish settlers, rather than immediately reporting them as fact. The statement emphasized that this change in approach should become a permanent policy going forward.
