<<Israeli attacks against journalists, media freedom decried at UNSC
Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu says attacks are meant to prevent the
world from knowing what is happening in Gaza. The United Nations
Security Council has been urged to not turn a blind eye to Israel’s
attacks on press freedom, including the targeting of journalists and
closure of Al Jazeera’s bureaus, during its war on Gaza. "[There are]
journalists from Palestine, Lebanon and Al Jazeera who Israel has killed
or closed their offices while they risk everything to ensure we don't
all return to a world where children and babies die in silence, perish
in darkness," Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu told the 15-member body
on Wednesday.
More than 110 journalists and media workers - including four Al Jazeera
reporters - have been killed in Israeli attacks since the war began in
October last year, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ),
while authorities in Gaza have put the figure at 173. Israel denies
targeting journalists. In addition to destroying Gaza’s media
infrastructure, Israeli authorities in recent months have also shut down
Al Jazeera's bureaus in Israel and the occupied West Bank. The closures
have drawn condemnation from press freedom groups and rights activists,
with the CPJ saying "Israel's efforts to censor Al Jazeera severely
undermine the public's right to information on a war that has upended so
many lives in the region".
In his speech at the UN Security Council, Muizzu decried the attacks
against journalists as he reminded members that it was this body that
had established the architecture of a "world order based on justice.
That architecture is now crumbling under the rubble of destroyed homes,
hospitals and schools, disintegrating under the weight of the bodies of
innocent civilians in Gaza and Lebanon," he said, referring to Israel's
massive bombing campaign this week on Lebanese villages, towns and
cities. "An architecture decaying, stained with the blood of those whose
very existence is supposed to be a symbol of a civilised world order -
from aid workers, to UN staff, to journalists," he added, calling for
the abolition of veto powers of the council's five permanent members:
Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States. "The veto
continues to paralyse the council from stopping Israel's genocidal war
against the Palestinian people," Muizzu said. "The veto has allowed
Israel to continue with impunity, in practicing brutal occupation and
risking regional security. The veto continues to enable the massacre of
innocent people."
Calls for accountability
Muizzu's speech echoed his address at the UN General Assembly the
previous day, during which he said Israel was attempting to cover up its
crimes by targeting Palestinian and Lebanese journalists, including by
closing Al Jazeera offices. "How can we interpret this as anything other
than brutal attempts to prevent the world from knowing the crimes taking
place?" he asked on Tuesday. "Israel must be held accountable for these
acts of terrorism, for these violations of international law and UN
resolutions."
Al Jazeera has been providing extensive coverage of Israel's nearly
year-long war on Gaza, which has killed more than 41,400 Palestinians,
and of a parallel surge in violence against Palestinians in the West
Bank. On Sunday, Israeli soldiers raided the bureau of the Qatar-based
network's bureau in Ramallah and ordered its closure for 45 days. The
order came from the Israeli military authority despite the bureau being
in Area A, an area delineated as being under Palestinian control in the
Oslo Accords. The Israeli army accused Al Jazeera of incitement and
supporting <terrorism> and claimed <the channel's broadcasts endanger
the security and public order in both the area and the State of Israel
as a whole>. Al Jazeera rejected the "unfounded" accusations as a
"dangerous and ridiculous lie" that puts its journalists at risk. "The
raid on the office and seizure of our equipment is not only an attack on
Al Jazeera, but an affront to press freedom and the very principles of
journalism," it said.
Journalism is not a crime campaign in New York organised by Al Jazeera
During the UN General Assembly, Al Jazeera launched a new advertising
campaign to highlight Israel's escalating efforts to silence
journalists.
Apart from comprehensive digital advertising, the campaign featured a
number of trucks driving around New York, including the area around the
UN headquarters, displaying an electronic message on their sides
reading: "Journalism is not a crime; attacking journalists is." The
network said the campaign sought to highlight that "journalists carrying
out their professional duty is not a crime, which is an essential aspect
of global journalism".
"It also aims to draw world leaders' attention to the continued crimes
against journalists within occupied territories by the Israeli
occupation forces," it said. "Al Jazeera calls for an end to impunity
and demands that perpetrators targeting journalists be held
accountable."

Al Jazeera - Sept 22, 2024
<<Press groups condemn Israel closing Al Jazeera office in Ramallah
The Committee to Protect Journalists says it is 'deeply alarmed' by the
raid and calls for protection of freedom of the press.
Press freedom groups and rights activists have condemned the Israeli
military forcibly shutting down Al Jazeera's office in Ramallah, in the
occupied West Bank, calling the act an assault on journalism. Early on
Sunday morning, Israeli soldiers raided the bureau of the Qatar-based
network and ordered its closure for 45 days. The raid, captured on live
TV, showed heavily armed Israeli troops handing an Israeli military
court order to Al Jazeera's bureau chief Walid al-Omari, informing him
of the closure. Al-Omari later said the court order accused Al Jazeera
of "incitement to and support of terrorism" and that the Israeli
soldiers confiscated the bureau's cameras before leaving. "Targeting
journalists this way aims to erase the truth and prevent people from
hearing the truth," he said. During the raid, Israeli soldiers also tore
down posters of slain Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh,
which were displayed on the walls of the bureau, al-Omari said. The
Ramallah office raid came five months after Israel shut the news
channel's operations in occupied East Jerusalem and took it off cable
providers.
'Relentless assault'
In a statement, the Committee to Protect Journalists said it was "deeply
alarmed" by the Israeli raid, just months after Israel shuttered Al
Jazeera's operations in Israel after deeming it a threat to national
security. "Israel's efforts to censor Al Jazeera severely undermine the
public's right to information on a war that has upended so many lives in
the region," it said. "Al Jazeera's journalists must be allowed to
report at this critical time, and always." In a brief statement on X,
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said it "denounces Israel's relentless
assault" on Al Jazeera. RSF had previously called for the repeal of an
Israeli law that allows the government to shut down foreign media in
Israel, "targeting Al Jazeera channel".
The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate denounced Israel's "arbitrary
military decision", calling it "a new aggression against journalistic
work and media outlets. We call on the entities and institutions
concerned with journalists' rights to condemn this decision and stop its
implementation," the group said.
The Palestinian Authority said the Israeli operation against Al Jazeera
in Ramallah was "a flagrant violation" of press freedom.
'Affront to press freedom'
Al Jazeera has been providing extensive coverage of Israel’s
nearly-year-long military offensive in Gaza and of a parallel surge in
violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Four Al Jazeera
journalists have been killed since the war in Gaza began, and the
network’s office in the besieged territory was bombed. A total of 173
journalists have been killed in Gaza since the war began in October last
year. Israel claims it does not target journalists. The Al Jazeera
network, which is funded by the Qatari government, has also rejected
accusations that it harmed Israel's security as a "dangerous and
ridiculous lie" that puts its journalists at risk. Israeli Minister of
Communications Shlomo Karhi justified Sunday's closure of Al Jazeera's
bureau, calling the network <the mouthpiece> of Gaza's Hamas and
Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah. <We will continue to fight the enemy
channels and ensure the safety of our heroic fighters,> he said. In a
statement, however, the Al Jazeera Media Network said it "vehemently
condemns and denounces this criminal act by the Israeli occupation
forces. Al Jazeera rejects the draconian actions, and the unfounded
allegations presented by Israeli authorities to justify these illegal
raids," it said. "The raid on the office and seizure of our equipment is
not only an attack on Al Jazeera but an affront to press freedom and the
very principles of journalism."
'A bigger West Bank onslaught'
Rami Khouri, a Middle East expert at the American University in Beirut,
said the closure of Al Jazeera’s Ramallah office is in line with the
policy of Israel since 1948, "which is to prevent real news about the
Palestinians. It probably means that there’s going to be a bigger
onslaught.... of Israeli violence all over the West Bank. And the
primary instrument for informing the world about what Israel is doing is
not going to be available to do it," he said. Mouin Rabbani, a
non-resident fellow at the Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies,
said the decision to shut down Al Jazeera's bureau in Ramallah shows
that Israel "clearly has something very serious to hide. In this
particular case, if you don't like the exposure of genocide in the
context of an illegal occupation, you shoot the messenger."

Le Monde - Sept 22, 2024
<<Israel raids Al Jazeera's West Bank bureau, orders 45-day closure
Israel's government last week announced it was revoking the press
credentials of Al Jazeera journalists in the country, four months after
banning the channel from operating inside Israel. Israeli troops raided
the offices of the satellite news network Al Jazeera in the
Israeli-occupied West Bank early Sunday, September 22, ordering the
bureau to shut down amid a widening campaign by Israel targeting the
Qatar-funded broadcaster as it covers the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza
Strip. Al Jazeera aired footage of Israeli troops live on its
Arabic-language channel ordering the office to be shut for 45 days. It
follows an extraordinary order issued in May that saw Israeli police
raid Al Jazeera's broadcast position in East Jerusalem, seizing
equipment there, preventing its broadcasts in Israel and blocking its
websites. The move marked the first time Israel has ever shuttered a
foreign news outlet operating in the country. However, Al Jazeera has
continued operating in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and in the Gaza
Strip, territories that the Palestinians hope to have for their future
state. Al Jazeera denounced the move as it continued broadcasting live
from Amman in neighboring Jordan. The channel said in a statement it
"vehemently condemns and denounces this criminal act." It rejected what
it called "unfounded allegations presented by Israeli authorities to
justify these illegal raids."
The Israeli military said on Sunday that it closed the office because it
incited <terror.> The closure order was signed after a legal opinion and
intelligence assessment <determined that the offices were being used to
incite terror, to support terrorist activities and that the channel's
broadcasts endanger the security and public order in both the area and
the state of Israel as a whole,> a military statement said.
Staff needed to leave immediately
Israeli troops entered the office and told a reporter live on air it
would be shut for 45 days, saying that staff needed to leave
immediately. The network later aired what appeared to be Israeli troops
tearing down a banner on a balcony used by the Al Jazeera office. Al
Jazeera said it bore an image of Shireen Abu Akleh, a
Palestinian-American journalist shot dead by Israeli forces in May 2022.
<There is a court ruling for closing down Al Jazeera for 45 days,> an
Israeli soldier told Al Jazeera's local bureau chief, Walid al-Omari, in
the live footage. <I ask you to take all the cameras and leave the
office at this moment.> Al-Omari later said that Israeli troops began
confiscating documents and equipment in the bureau, as tear gas and
gunshots could be seen and heard in the area. The Palestinians secured
limited self-rule in Gaza and parts of the occupied West Bank through
the 1993 Oslo agreements. While Israel occupies and controls vast areas
of the West Bank, Ramallah is under full Palestinian political and
security control, making the Israeli raid on the Al Jazeera office that
much more surprising.
'New aggression against journalistic work'
The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate denounced the Israeli raid and
order. "This arbitrary military decision is a new aggression against
journalistic work and media outlets," it said.
Editorial Freedom of information is under attack from all sides
The network has reported on the Israeli-Hamas war nonstop since the
militants' initial cross-border attack on Oct. 7 and has maintained
24-hour coverage in the Gaza Strip amid Israel's grinding ground
offensive that has killed and wounded members of its staff. It remains
unclear whether the Israeli military would target Al Jazeera's operation
in Gaza as well. While including on-the-ground reporting of the war's
casualties, Al Jazeera's Arabic arm often publishes verbatim video
statements from Hamas and other regional militant groups. That has led
to Israeli claims by officials up to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
that the network has <harmed Israel's security and incited against
soldiers.> Those claims have been vehemently denied by Al Jazeera, whose
main funder, Qatar, has been key in negotiations between Israel and
Hamas to reach a cease-fire to end the war. An order closing Al Jazeera
in Israel has been repeatedly renewed in the time since, but it hadn't
as of yet ordered the Ramallah offices closed.
The war began when Hamas-led fighters killed about 1,200 people, mostly
civilians, in an Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel. They abducted another
250 people and are still holding around 100 hostages. Israel's campaign
in Gaza has killed at least 41,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza
Health Ministry, which doesn't differentiate between fighters and
civilians. The closure of Al Jazeera's Ramallah office also comes as
tensions continue to rise over a possible expansion of the war to
Lebanon, where electronic devices exploded last week in a likely
sabotage campaign by Israel targeting the Shiite militia Hezbollah. The
explosions Tuesday and Wednesday killed at least 37 people - including
two children - and wounded around 3,000 others.

<<CPJ to honor formidable journalists with 2024 International Press
Freedom Awards
Esteemed awardees from four regions to be recognized in November
New York, September 19, 2024 - The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ)
today announced that it will honor four exceptional journalists with its
2024 International Press Freedom Awards. This year's awardees, who cover
Gaza, Guatemala, Niger, and Russia, have withstood extraordinary
challenges to continue reporting on their communities while experiencing
war, prison, government crackdowns, and the rising criminalization of
their work. "CPJ's International Press Freedom Awardees symbolize the
vital work carried out by reporters everywhere to report facts in the
face of fierce attempts to suppress truth," said CPJ CEO Jodie Ginsberg.
"In what has been a devastating year for journalists and for press
freedom, it is an honor to stand with them." CPJ will posthumously honor
Christophe Deloire, who served as director general of the press freedom
organization Reporters Without Borders (RSF), with the 2024 Gwen Ifill
Press Freedom Award, an award presented annually by CPJ’s board of
directors in recognition of an individual's sustained commitment to
press freedom. Deloire led RSF for 12 years before his untimely death in
June 2024. "Christophe Deloire was a tireless advocate for media freedom
and a strong partner in our efforts to help journalists globally," said
CPJ Board Chair Jacob Weisberg. "Honoring Christophe is recognition of
his shining legacy and of all the journalists he supported throughout
his career." The CPJ awards will be presented in New York City on
November 21. John Oliver, host of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,
will be master of ceremonies at the event, which will be chaired by
Jessica E. Lessin, founder and CEO of The Information.
CPJ's 2024 awardees include:
Shrouq Al Aila (Gaza Strip)
Shrouq Al Aila is a Palestinian journalist, producer, and researcher
reporting from the Gaza Strip. Al Aila took charge of Ain Media, an
independent production company specializing in professional media
services, after her husband - who co-founded the company - was killed in
the Israel-Gaza war. She continues to cover the war and its devastating
impact on Gaza's residents despite having been displaced several times
in an effort to evade Israeli attacks.>>

<<Why I am rooting for Bisan Owda to win a news Emmy
"Owda's impactful journalism challenges dominant narratives on Palestine
and exposes the truth of Israel's war on Gaza. Tafi Mhaka - Al Jazeera
columnist
Bisan Owda, a young Palestinian journalist, activist and filmmaker from
Gaza, deserves the highest accolades for the excellent work she has done
in the past 11 months to expose the realities of Israel's genocidal war
on her people. From the very beginning, she has been a reliable,
informative and trustworthy voice from the ground in a conflict that
killed more journalists than any other in recent memory. At significant
personal risk, she reports on the plight of the tens of thousands of
children who have become orphans in Gaza. She sheds light on the
extensive destruction wrought by the advanced weaponry supplied to
Israel by the Biden administration. Despite Israel’s best efforts to
hide the truth, she shows the world how Palestine is undergoing another
Nakba. As such, I am delighted that she has been nominated for an Emmy
Award in the "Outstanding Hard News Feature Story" category with the
short documentary she made for AJ+ titled "It's Bisan From Gaza and I'm
Still Alive". The poignant and incisive eight-minute feature follows her
journey as she is forced to leave her home in Gaza City and displaced
numerous times amid Israel’s continuing assault on the Strip.
Regrettably, almost immediately after the announcement of her
nomination, defenders of Israel's war - and its simultaneous assault on
journalism - embarked on a campaign to prevent Owda from receiving the
recognition she deserves for the exemplary work she managed to do under
the most difficult conditions. First, an Israeli communication
consultant accused Owda of being a member of the Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine - a left-wing Palestinian political movement
that is designated a <terrorist organisation> by several Western
countries, including the United States - a charge she denies. This led
high-profile pro-Israeli accounts on social media to attack her
journalism as terror propaganda and condemn her Emmy nomination.
Consequently, on August 20, pro-Israel entertainment industry nonprofit
"Creative Community for Peace" issued an open letter to the National
Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), the body responsible
for the News and Documentary Emmys, requesting Owda's nomination to be
retracted based on these accusations.
Thankfully, the academy stood behind the decision to nominate Owda. Adam
Sharp, NATAS president and chief executive, stated that his organisation
has not seen any evidence of Owda having any active ties to the PFLP. He
further noted that the award has a history of recognising works that
have been controversial, "in the service of the journalistic mission to
capture every facet of the story". He also underlined that Owda's work
was selected for nomination by independent judges from the industry, and
from among 50 submissions in one of the year’s most competitive
categories. The suggestion made in the open letter that Owda has <terror
ties> and thus her journalism should not be honoured but discarded as
propaganda, is preposterous. For anyone with a little knowledge of the
history of the Palestinian people and the relentless abuse they suffered
for decades under Israeli occupation, it is clear that, like many others
before her, Owda is being targeted for reminding the world of the
humanity of Palestinian people and exposing the truth about Israel's
brutal ethnic cleansing operation. Israeli narratives, which frame
Palestinians as inherently violent, unreasonable sub-humans - as
anti-Semitic savages who attack benevolent and civilised Israel for no
reason - have dominated mainstream media without challenge for so long
that they have become an accepted reality. With many media outlets
almost never giving Palestinians a platform to talk about their reality
under Israeli occupation, the humanity of an entire people has been
erased in the eyes of the international community, with devastating
consequences. Recently, the advent of social media, and the rise of
Global South media voices like Al Jazeera, began to disturb this sad
status quo. Since the beginning of this latest and most violent chapter
in Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people, honest, direct and
courageous Palestinian voices like Owda's broke through the mould of a
once tightly controlled media landscape that habitually panders to
colonial narratives. Her work, marked by a raw intensity and immense
emotional debt, reached people around the world and exposed many of them
to the painful reality of being a Palestinian in Gaza for the first
time. Indeed, many Africans like me, who for too long depended on the
biased output of Western news outlets to understand the so-called
"Middle East conflict" found Owda's authentic account of the Palestinian
reality both informing and refreshing. In a media landscape where
Israeli military spokespeople get both the first and the last word in
news reports on the genocide they are committing, where Palestinians who
lost dozens of family members to Israeli bombing are made to condemn any
efforts at resistance to be allowed to speak about their loss, where
Palestinians inexplicably "die" but Israelis are <killed> and
<slaughtered>, voices like Owda's should be appreciated, honoured and
protected at all cost. Since Israel's very inception, Western media have
been complicit in its crimes against Palestinians. Especially leading
British and American media organisations, which for decades, held a
monopoly on deciding what is accepted as <truth> about Israel-Palestine,
helped Israel legitimise its violence and land theft by pushing
narratives that dehumanise Palestinians. But now that Owda, and other
courageous Palestinian journalists like her, are able to reach large
audiences, these organisations have lost the power to act as the sole
arbiter of truth on Israel-Palestine. Israel can no longer silence
Palestinian voices and make the world accept Israeli narratives as the
indisputable truth of the conflict. Owda, at just 26 years old, made
much more significant contributions to journalism, and the global
understanding of the conflict in Palestine, in the past 10 months, than
the seasoned Western journalists parroting Israeli talking points have
done in many decades. Owda's reports are neither dramatic nor thrilling;
they do not indulge in colourful sensationalism. Rather, they present
the stark realities of Palestinian existence, imbued with the
inevitability of profound suffering, anguish, and death. These accounts
are unembellished reflections of a people and a land devastated by
Israel, revealing the depths of human failure and Western moral
corruption.
Through her short films, Owda reveals how more than 40,000 Palestinians,
mostly innocent women and children, have not suddenly "lost their lives"
amid a "conflict" between "Israel and Hamas", but instead have been
brutally killed by an occupying military force armed with the
state-of-the-art weapons provided by Western powers. Owda conveys the
stories of the dead, reminding the world of their humanity, and the
humanity of the Palestinians who so far survived this genocide. This is
what journalism does at its best. This is what journalism is for. And
this is why, I am with all my heart rooting for Owda to win an Emmy
Award on September 25. I know Owda does not do what she does to win
Western awards. I know her work will remain as valuable and noteworthy
even if she never wins another award or important accolade. But if she
wins, it will still be a slap in the face of those who, like the
signatories of the open letter to NATAS, want Israel to continue shaping
the narrative of this <conflict> singlehandedly. It will show that the
work of Palestinian journalists cannot be ignored, and the truth of
Palestine - and this genocide - will not remain hidden."

<<CPJ joins call for UN commission to investigate Israel murder of
journalist Issam Abdallah
The Committee to Protect Journalists joined 10 press freedom and human
rights organizations in a letter to the United Nations Independent
International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian
Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel to investigate and help
provide accountability for the murder of Reuters video journalist Issam
Abdallah, who was killed by Israeli forces in south Lebanon on October
13, 2023, and for the killings of other journalists. Ahead of the
one-year anniversary of Abdallah's killing, CPJ joined a September 11
letter urging the commission to conduct its own inquiry into Israel's
October 13 attack. The organizations also called for the commission to
investigate accusations of war crimes against journalists as part of its
inquiry into possible war crimes committed since the Israel-Gaza war
began on October 7, and to recognize the "alarming numbers" of
journalists killed in the war and the media’s crucial role in
documenting conflict. The letter also asked the commission to publicly
identify the military unit involved in the attack on the journalists and
send formal requests for information to the governments of Israel,
Lebanon, and the United States, given that one of the survivors of the
attack, Dylan Collins, is a U.S. citizen.
