    Like if someone is accused of murder or manslaughter, does the news get a statement from the accused and publish them saying “uh, no I didn’t, he probably just tripped and fell” or something?

    I mean… Yes? That seems like a very basic fact for them to report.

      That is true, but the article gives a very significant chunk for the Israeli government to excuse themselves when typically the statement would be at the end.
