Wikipedia on Middle-East Eye:

MEE has been accused of being backed by Qatar. The governments of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and Bahrain accuse MEE of pro-Muslim Brotherhood bias and receiving Qatari funding. As a consequence, they demanded MEE to be shut down following the Saudi-led blockade of Qatar. ... On 20 October 2022, MEE cut ties with Palestinian journalist Shatha Hammad after it was discovered that she made a Facebook post in 2014 which praised Adolf Hitler for "sharing the same ideology"

And? They're one of the only news sources bothering to debunk the blatant misinformation from Herzog. Plenty of other individual people had already debunked it, but none of the non-Arab media appears to be even attempting to point out the false claims he's making.
