During a broadcast of Piers Morgan Uncensored, host Piers Morgan challenged American Rabbi Shmuley Boteach over the killing of media workers in Gaza by the Israeli military. When Morgan cited estimates that more than 200 Palestinian journalists have been killed during Israel's genocidal war on Gaza and challenged Israeli claims that the reporters were linked to Hamas, Boteach dismissed the figures as "blood libel". Since October 2023, press freedom groups and the UN have repeatedly raised concerns over the unprecedented death toll among Palestinian journalists, documenting cases involving strikes on media personnel and equipment.
