Gayle King Faces Backlash for Interview with Father of Hamas Hostage

Critics argue CBS anchor's decision to discuss Gaza politics with grieving father was insensitive and inappropriate.

Gayle King has faced backlash for her interview with Thomas Hand, the father of 8-year-old Emily Hand who is being held hostage by Hamas.
During the interview, King brought up the topic of Gaza politics, which some critics argue was insensitive and inappropriate.
Hand, who is primarily concerned with the return of his daughter, stated that he is not interested in politics.
King's approach to the interview has sparked a debate about the role of politics in discussions about the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
Emily Hand is among hundreds of hostages held by Hamas since their October 7 attack on Israel.
