The Unmasking of Trey Yingst: Leading Fox journalist spreads Jew hatred

In the annals of war reporting, where courage meets clarity, Trey Yingst has carved a glowing name for himself: Fox News’ Chief Foreign Correspondent. He's a Harrisburg-born Virgo who’s dodged grenades and stared down rockets. At 32, he’s a decorated veteran of chaos, from Gaza’s rubble to Ukraine’s frontlines, his X posts reaching over 400,000 followers with the immediacy of a battlefield dispatch.

His book Black Saturday, a bestseller chronicling the October 7, 2023, Hamas atrocities, cemented his status as a voice of record. Yet beneath the accolades, Forbes 30 Under 30, the RTDNA First Amendment Award, lurks a troubling pattern: a journalist who, with surgical precision, distorts Israel’s struggle into a caricature of villainy. Is Yingst a fearless truth-seeker, or just another cog in the machinery of anti-Israel slander?

Born in 1993 in Hershey, Pennsylvania, Yingst’s path was meteoric. He co-founded News2Share as a student at American University, landing in Ferguson’s 2014 riots, arrested, then freed with ACLU aid, before cutting his teeth at OANN and joining Fox in 2018.

Jerusalem became his beat, and the Israel-Hamas war his proving ground. His Kfar Aza dispatch “the stench of death in the air” etched the horror of October 7 into memory. But as the war grinds on, Yingst’s lens has shifted, and what emerges is a narrative that bleeds sympathy for Palestinians while excising the context that justifies Israel’s fight.

Take his April 7, 2025, X post: “An American citizen was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers overnight in the West Bank. The video below was released by the IDF showing the 14-year-old with two other people. The statement provided says they were throwing stones ‘toward a highway.’” Bare facts, yes, but glaringly incomplete. Omar Rabea, the 14-year-old Palestinian-American killed near Turmus Ayya, wasn’t just tossing pebbles. The IDF reported he and two others hurled rocks at a highway.

Here's what Trey conveniently 'forgot' to report: Stone throwing murders Israeli civilians: In 2013, Adele Biton was driving home from her parents’ with three daughters, Naama, Avigail, and two-year-old Adele, when her car was ambushed by Palestinian youths hurling stones. The attack caused Adva to crash into a truck, severely injuring Adele with traumatic brain damage. Adele lingered in a coma for months, finally returning home in September 2014 with limited mobility, only to succumb to a lung infection on February 17, 2015, at Schneider Children’s Hospital.

Then, in 2015, Alexander Levlovich died when a stone shattered his windshield. Yingst’s silence on this danger isn’t really oversight, it’s a choice, one that paints Israel’s response as reckless rather than defensive.

The pattern repeats. On March 23, he wrote, “Palestinian civilians continue to pay the highest price as Israel bombs the Gaza Strip,” a mournful note that ignores Hamas’s human shields and rocket barrages that ignited this war. March 24: “Palestinian journalists Mohammed Mansour and Hossam Shabat were killed by Israel today in Gaza. 124 journalists were killed around the world in 2024, around two-thirds of them were Palestinian.”

It's a noble tribute, until you dig a bit deeper. Shabat, as exposed in September 2024, wasn’t just a scribe; he infiltrated Israel with Hamas on October 7, cheering as hostages were taken and Israelis slaughtered. This critic urged Yingst to share Shabat’s complicity with the IDF. He didn’t. Instead, he let the “journalist” label sanctify a terrorist’s legacy.

April 5 and 6 escalate the charge: “New video shows Israeli forces open firing on medics in Gaza… That is clearly not true,” he posted, debunking IDF claims of suspicious ambulances sans headlights. Then, quoting medic Refaat Radwan:“Forgive me, mother. This is the path I chose. To help people”, moments before his death. Stirring, but selective. Evidence abounds that Hamas embeds operatives in medical crews, a tactic Israel has documented since 2014. Yingst’s refusal to probe this isn’t journalism; it’s advocacy dressed as fact.

His defenders laud his grit: live under fire, embedded with the IDF, a 2024 Weidenfeld Prize for war reporting. His March 2025 RTDNA speech thanked “brave Palestinian journalists in Gaza,” a nod to shared peril. But bravery doesn’t absolve bias. When he challenged a staged Al-Shifa weapons find in March 2025, later debunked, he blocked X users who called out his slant. When Hossam Shabat’s Hamas ties surfaced, he stonewalled. This isn’t “old-school, objective journalism,” as he claimed on X. It’s a curated script that vilifies Israel while laundering Palestinian militancy.

In a way, Yingst’s rise, from News2Share to Fox’s Jerusalem desk, mirrors Israel’s own resilience: a young nation forged in adversity. Yet where Israel battles for survival against existential threats, Yingst trades on half-truths. His April 7 post on a Houthi drone interception shows he can report straight when it suits him. Why, then, the blind spot on Israel’s side? His 400,000 followers lap up the narrative, but the cost is dear: a generation fed distortions, not facts.

Israel’s critics will cheer Yingst’s lens, but the truth demands more. Rocks kill. Hamas hides among medics. Journalists can be terrorists. Yingst knows this, but he chooses to peddle in antisemitism, sharing his bias with his massive audience and pretending it's journalism.

At a time when Israel fights for its life, his reporting obscures the truth. Call it what it is: not courage, but cowardice cloaked as compassion. He says he's asking the hard questions, but he's just another Hamas mouthpiece with a huge speaker.
