The Polish foreign ministry has revealed that Google has rejected complaints over a series of YouTube videos in Polish published by the Israeli embassy that Poland says are spreading “disinformation” about the situation in Gaza by casting doubt on reports of starvation there.

In late July and early August, the embassy posted six videos claiming that Israel is providing large amounts of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, that stories about starvation are Hamas propaganda uncritically shared by international media, and that it is the UN which is blocking aid trucks from entering.

“Google responded that the promoted materials were consistent with its policies and values”,
