The Washington Post has come under criticism for its coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict that began on October 7. Critics, including contributors to the National Review, accuse the publication of abandoning journalistic principles by uncritically citing casualty figures provided by the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry in 148 separate articles, relying on activist sources, and airing false accusations of Israeli organ harvesting. The criticism suggests a perceived bias and a departure from journalistic standards in the Post's reporting.
