The Qatari state-sponsored network got the UAE involved in a fake news report about Israel and was caught in the act.

It’s no secret that Al-Jazeera is virulently anti-Israel and takes every opportunity to slam the Jewish state.

This time, however, the Qatari state-sponsored network got the UAE involved in a fake news report about Israel.

The story alleged that an Emirati pilot, named as Monem Sahib al-Taba, was suspended for refusing to fly to the Jewish state – purportedly over objections to the recent normalization agreements between Israel and several Arab countries, including the UAE.

The Emirati airline quickly debunked the Al Jazeera story and made clear that it never employed any pilot by the name of Monem Sahib al-Taba.

Al-Jazeera deleted the story. But doesn’t it say a lot about the company’s “stellar, non-biased” journalism?
