Do you expect a news organization to not publish such statements?
Sounds like you do not want a news organization, you want a propaganda machine.
I expect them to not just parrot statements made by Hamas uncritically.

I expect news outlets to report what people say, not what their readers and listeners prefer to read and hear.
That would be good. Unfortunately, it has little connection to reality anymore. A news organization that actually did this would alienate too many readers and soon be out of business.
So you want journalists to be propagandists for your side but complain up and down when you feel journalists are being propagandists for the other side. And you don't see the double standard.
It's not what I want. It's what's actually happening--they are propagandists for Hamas. I want them to be honest.

It's worse than that.

If someone is relying on propagandists for information then factual reporting, no matter how well sourced and documented, will appear to be propaganda for other viewpoints.

If someone is making claims based on propaganda then those claims will be unsupported by actual evidence unless that person is willing to seek out accurate information from better sources.

If someone only wants to read and hear what they already believe to be true then they will inevitably wind up with a very skewed worldview.
Yeah, you are describing exactly what is happening to the left.
 
So here is where we are. Both Hamas and Netanyahu’s renegade government (not Jews in general, for you slimy slanderers) are accusing the other of breaking the so-called cease fire.
It is pretty clear that it was Hamas that broke the ceasefire.
Why is it pretty clear? Israel was attacked and there are terrorists unaffiliated with Hamas. Hamas denies it was them. They may be lying, but it isn’t pretty clear at this point.
There is a lot of cooperation between the groups. They aren't going to attack if Hamas says no.
