But I did not publish those videos. Why? Because I did not want to ruin the lives of the people who were filmed

The US president announced the decision on Friday in a post on Truth Social, saying it would take effect immediately. He did not cite specific reports by the three outlets to support his claim but said other media organisations could also be barred from the White House. “I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW… and Politico… from the White House as a result of their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS!” the post reads. “Media outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump administration, or the United States of America.” The announcement is the latest development in Trump’s long-running clashes with sections of the US media since he returned to office in January 2025. In February 2025, the White House restricted access for Associated Press journalists after the news agency declined to adopt Trump’s preferred name, “Gulf of America”, for the body of water commonly known as the Gulf of Mexico.

At the time, Sinwar used the keyword "zilzal" ("earthquake"), an unusual reference that was meant to raise red flags among the intelligence community.
