"Sherman, the youngest foreign correspondent in cable news at the moment, spoke to Gazans on the ground a voice largely missing in mainstream U.S. media and asked them one of the key questions going forward: What do you think of Hamas? I lost my dreams due to Hamas, one Gazan said to Sherman, their face blurred out for their protection. I hate Hamas so much, added another. Sherman also asked them what they think of Israel, and the answer was much of the same."
"I'll never forget the smell of human remains walking through there or walking through some of these homes where the ashes are a foot deep and they say people were burned alive here and then all of a sudden you don't know what you're walking on anymore, Sherman said, adding: And I mean it has just changed my whole perspective on life, on time, on people, and now I mean that's really what keeps me going is trying to have a deep understanding of this"
Robert Sherman obtained exclusive access to an aid site in southern Gaza's Saudi neighborhood, becoming the first U.S. network to broadcast from there. Sherman, the youngest foreign correspondent in cable news, spoke directly to Gazans who voiced profound anger toward Hamas and Israel, including statements like "I lost my dreams due to Hamas" and "I hate Hamas so much." Sherman described visiting Kibbutz Be'eri after the October 7 attack, recalling the smell of human remains, homes with ashes a foot deep, and reports of people burned alive. Sherman said these experiences changed his perspective and motivated him to convey understanding and urgent information amid the humanitarian crisis and ceasefire developments.
