CNN’s Chief International Anchor Christiane Amanpour identified Haifa in northern Israel as being located in the 'West Bank,' the Jordanian name for Judea and Samaria, in introducing a Palestinian Arab human rights lawyer.
Amanpour made the gaffe on Wednesday during her global affairs interview program on CNN. She introduced human rights lawyer Diana Buttu to respond to an interview with Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon, who discussed the as yet unveiled United States peace plan.
“Diana Buttu is a human rights lawyer and she joins me from Haifa, on the West Bank,” Amanpour said.
In a segment of the interview posted on the CNN website, the introduction is left off.
The clip of the introduction was tweeted by Hillel Neuer, executive director of the NGO UN Watch. He said in his tweet that “Haifa is not ‘on the West Bank.’ It’s in Israel. Where Jews & Arabs live together in harmony.”
Haifa, located in northern Israel, is the third largest city in Israel...

And these are the same people who say that Trump is the mental patient..but for Iranian Jihadists like this broad, she said it on purpose, if it were up to her ALL of Israel would be in the “West Bank”
cris-tee-ahnah ah-man-poo-er
She wanted the G men to arrest deplorables for chanting “lock her up!” and Comey had to inform her of the existence of the First Amendment. It might be she said Haifa’s in the “West Bank” on purpose, but it’s hard to tell where the idiocy ends and the ideology begins with her. And what’s with that hair?
She’s just doing what her Iranian Jihadists have taught her, get rid of EVERYONE she disagrees with..lock people up, put people in ovens, its what Jihadists do
She knows what she is doing. She would have Tel Aviv included in the West Bank also. In fact, all of Israel would be considered “West Bank” if you used the Palestinian description as anything west of the Jordan River, and therefore, illegitimate in the eyes of the UN. That is why this ‘person’ is pushing that narrative.
Hi.
Thanks for posting some good articles today.
In the fwiw department Christiane, there is no such thing as an Arab Islamist human rights attorney. It’s an oxymoron.

Thanks Eleutheria5. There's also no such thing as a human rights attorney.
Agreed. Thanks.
She can call herself a one-legged chicken for all I care.
Well, its on the West Coast.
You cannot expect CNN to get it 100% correct. Ha ha.
Remember Bill Clinton’s scripted “Look at me I’m a know it all” on stage press show where he had all kinds of world leaders ask him obscure questions, and he complimented Amanpour on her ‘nice cheekbones’?
The horn-dog could not even stop himself during his own dog-and-pony show.

Christiane Amanpour is a know liar covering for the PLO.
Just like Peter Jenning’s ex-girlfriend who hung out with Yasser Arafat.
(yes I know Peter Jennings is gone)
The West Bank of the Mississippi?
“War Slut”
It didn’t seem that far inland when the USS John F Kennedy anchored there.
Global warming dood it.
Christian hasn’t been playing with a full deck for a long time.
Consider from Wikipedia:
After leaving New Hall, Amanpour moved to the United States to study journalism at the University of Rhode Island. Sadly, she skipped attendance on the days that the First Amendment was discussed as it relates to the rights of the people to freely exercise free speech.
On 7 January 2015, Amanpour made headlines during a “Breaking News” segment on CNN by referring to the Islamic extremists who murdered the 12 journalists at Charlie Hebdo as “activists”: “On this day, these activists found their targets, and their targets were journalists. This was a clear attack on the freedom of expression, on the press, and on satire”.[29]
[“War Slut”]
One of the greatest descriptions of all time, but I do believe it was:
“CNN War Slut”
Which made it even better.
