CNN announced Wednesday that it would no longer employ a Gazan reporter after a media watchdog outed him as an open supporter of the Hamas terror organization.

An investigation by Honest Reporting revealed that freelancer Abdel Qader Sabbah had a long history of praising Hamas terrorists for murdering Israelis, sharing the group’s propaganda clips, and smearing the Jewish state on social media, mainly Facebook.

A CNN spokesman told the group that the media outlet had “carefully reviewed” the journalistic material that Sabbah had sent them over the last nine months, and were “comfortable that it meets our standards. However, we were not aware of this individual’s historical social posts and recognize that they are highly offensive. In light of this, we will no longer be using his material going forward.”
