A renowned CNN Correspondent Sara Sidner, has issued an apology following a controversial statement she made during a live broadcast stating that the Israeli Prime Minister’s office had confirmed that the Hamas had beheaded babies in Israel.In her apology, Sidner acknowledged the need for caution and precision when reporting such sensitive and disturbing information. She admitted that her previous statement, suggesting that the Israeli Prime Minister’s office must have proof if they were confirming these acts of the Hamas beheading babies, was not an appropriate choice of words.Yesterday the Israeli Prime Minister’s office said that it had confirmed Hamas beheaded babies & children while we were live on the air. The Israeli government now says today it CANNOT confirm babies were beheaded, she tweeted adding that I needed to be more careful with my words and I am sorry. The words I used were the PM’s office must have proof if they are confirming this. Then President Biden confirmed seeing it. And then backed tracked,” she said.Many leading social media activists have called for her resignation over the misinformation and have demanded accurate reporting over the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.
