The conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate, and the United States has intervened by striking Iran-backed groups. The situation is constantly evolving, and news sources like CNN, The New York Times, Al Jazeera English, Democracy Now!, and Columbia Journalism Review are providing live updates and opinions on the matter. The destruction in Gaza is unprecedented, and the death toll continues to rise as Israel carries out its war against Hamas. This is happening as the U.S. under President Biden has targeted new locations in the Middle East while the Gaza war persists. There are concerns about the role of the press in potentially influencing the United States’ involvement in conflicts.
