A news program on a channel owned by Swedish state television, the newscaster said quote "Israel's latest
play out is to call off its planned ground offensive against Rafah in southern Gaza provided Hamas releases the hostages" unquote. The definition of play out is the first card or an unexpected move. Neither definition of play out fits in this context, as Israel has initially said it is suspending its offensive against Gaza in exchange for the hostages.
The same news program was equally dishonest earlier this week when it chose not to translate verbatim a speech by the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak when he spoke about future deportations to Rwanda. Mr. Rishi Sunak said England intends to deport illegal immigrants where the news program omitted to translate the word illegal.
Words or the lack of words matter.
