It feels morbid to say but I think it's because the genocide is almost complete, so now they can just claim "they were a moment too late." So they can feign morality without having to attempt to enact it.

Might also be because they feel their credibility was dropping too low.

TheGuardian is a great example of a newspaper which did a complete 180 from spewing every Israeli propaganda possible, going as far as using their reputation to back up Israeli lies, to suddenly questioning Israeli claims a few months ago and quoting Palestinians and human rights organizations.
