The New York Times has reenlisted a freelancer, who was exposed last year for sharing anti-Semitic posts, to cover the war between Israel and Hamas. After HonestReporting published its report, the Times told the watchdog the newspaper had "reviewed these concerns and taken appropriate action." Hijjy's byline ceased to appear in the Times' coverage of Israel. Hijjy's Times author page, however, has become active again in the past eight days, following Hamas's surprise attack on Israel. The Times has received backlash for its coverage of the war between Israel and Hamas.
