Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Tension continues in the Middle East region. Attacks are carried out from both sides. Now Israel has declared 6 Arab journalists terrorists. It has been claimed that documents and other intelligence evidence have shown that all of them are Palestinians. Of them, 4 are or have been associated with Hamas, while 2 are associated with Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
A day earlier, the Israeli military accused six Al Jazeera journalists covering the war in the Gaza area of working for Palestinian militant groups. The Israeli military alleges that these fighters have been paid for this in the past or currently. Israel claims investigation of Hamas-related documents has revealed the truth about the journalists.
Al Jazeera rejected the claim.
However, Al Jazeera rejected these claims. The reputed media house accused Israel of making false claims. He alleges that Israel is conspiring to scare away journalists and cover up the massacre in Gaza.
Citing intelligence information and several documents found in Gaza, the IDF has claimed that 6 journalists from the channel called Al Jazeera are associated with Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Israel has presented as evidence the list of terrorist training courses, telephone directories and salary documents of terrorists.
Israel also alleges that all of these journalists were helping the terrorist organization Hamas and, in return, also received salaries from Hamas. The IDF has also claimed that 4 out of 6 journalists are associated with Hamas, while 2 journalists are members of Islamic Jihad.
Al Jazeera journalists Anas al-Sharif, Hossam Shabat, Ismail Abu Omar and Talal Aroki have been accused of having links to Hamas. Israel has described Anas Jamal as being associated with the Nusrat Battalion. He also claims that Anas Jamal was the head of the rocket squad and was also involved in attacks against the Israeli army.
Israel has been against Al Jarira!
The Qatari media have called these serious Israeli accusations false and have declared their journalists innocent. Al Jazeera claimed that Israel wants to hide the truth about Gaza from the world. He does not want images of Gaza to be revealed to the world. That is why Israel wants to scare journalists and expel them from the Gaza area.
The Israeli military had also raided Al Jazeera’s office in Ramallah, West Bank, about a month ago. The army closed the channel office for 45 days. Subsequently, the Al Jazeera channel was banned in Israel. In early August, the Israeli army had killed an Al Jazeera journalist who was also said to be linked to Hamas.
