Cuộc phỏng vấn với nhà đàm phán con tin người Thái Lan

Ủy ban đã xem xét 2 bài viết trên Facebook chứa các phân đoạn gần giống hệt nhau về một cuộc phỏng vấn qua video với nhà đàm phán con tin người Thái Lan phát sóng trên Sky News, trong đó mô tả kinh nghiệm của nhà đàm phán này khi cố gắng giải thoát các con tin bị Hamas bắt giữ.
