Media Bias Fact Check (Reuters):
Overall, we rate Reuters Least Biased based on objective reporting and Very High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing of information with minimal bias and a clean fact check record.
You could also correct the part about them being voted in. They had around 40% of the votes in a multiparty election, kicked out their opposers and took over. The current population of Gaza is 50% under 18, most people don’t live beyond 65 due to low life expectancy, and that last election was 16 years ago. They were not democratically elected and the majortiy of Gazans haven’t voted for them.
That’s how voting works literally everywhere. If you count the people that don’t or can’t vote, American Presidents are elected by like twenty percent of the population, and the winner doesn’t even have to get a majority of the actual votes.
The statement that they were voted in is a true statement, so I see no reason to correct it because you don’t like that fact.
They won seats but never formed a proper government. Sure it’s a true statement if you want to be pedantic but it’s missing the relevant context. It’s not a nice and decent election in a normal and nice environment (thanks to Israel).
