The Qatari owned Al Jazeera is not particularly pro Iran right now. Qatar is Iran's enemy.

The Pakistani Prime Minister's statement is literally on Twitter:

> Vance said the cease fire doesn't include Lebanon, in his own voice

CBS has reported that the US originally agreed that the ceasefire included Lebanon but changed its position following a phone call between Trump and Netanyahu. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/lebanon-israel-ceasefire-talks-... The New York Times has reported that the US had already seen and signed off on the text in Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif's statement regarding the ceasefire prior to him posting it. https://archive.ph/dH97R

If the best analysis you're able to come up with is "Al-Jazeera said one thing and Vance said another, so clearly Vance's statement must be accurate" and not doing any further investigation yourself, I honestly feel bad for you.

		Well you see Al Jazeera is a scary Islamist sounding name, so clearly they are only capable of lying GP literally believes Arabs can't tell the truth

LOL JD Vance is your news source?

Pakistani PM is the actual source as a sibling comment made clear.

Who would you consider reliable news sources for this war? Honest question.

AFAIK The USA governement has proven unreliable, even more so than Iran. USA news sources are owned by the same oligarchs owning the governement. Other western sources follow the USA train of thought, with more or less doubt thrown in. Mint from India and Al Jazeera from Qatar (not happy with Iran right now) seem closest to neutral of the pack, even if not that great. I am not aware of a reliable Israeli news source.

The ACOUP article was one of the best analysis of this war I've seen, which is pretty damning for the real news sources if you think about it.

> I am not aware of a reliable Israeli news source.

If you consider Al Jazeera a reliable source, then we'll probably disagree on this. But I would say Ynet, Times of Israel, and Jerusalem Post and reliable, just to name some of the big ones with lots of English content online. Or Haaretz for a more anti-government-leaning (but still broadly reliable) publication.

		I don't think there is any reliable source in this war, so the best thing to do is try to read from all sides. I'll take a look at them. Thanks.

		All of those are still ultimately subject to the IDF's military censor, and are not free outlets as such.

You trust the trump administration over Al Jazeera? Seriously?

Get your head checked

Well, I didn't see anyone from Israel agreeing to a cease fire with Lebanon. did you?

		I've never seen Israel respect a ceasefire, but this isn't my point: the Trump administration has been caught lying literally thousands of times, you genuinely believe they're more trustworthy than Al Jazeera? Because if you genuinely do, your brain is straight up broken
