{Whistleblowers: CPJ Hid Israel’s Targeting of Journalists
Whistleblowers reveal that the Committee to Protect Journalists canceled its Impunity Index to hide Israel’s responsibility killing journalists, sparking outrage among staff and human rights observers.
Gaza (QNN)- Whistleblowers say the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has suppressed critical reporting on Israel’s attacks on journalists, reportedthe Electronic Intifada. The staffers say CEO Jodie Ginsberg canceled the organization’s annual Impunity Index because it would have ranked Israel as number one.
The Impunity Index, published since 2008, tracks countries where journalists are killed with impunity. It measures unsolved murders over a ten-year period. Whistleblowers told The Electronic Intifada that Israel would have topped the 2025 report, covering 2024, the first full year of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. CPJ data shows Israel deliberately killed 64 journalists in 2023, 76 in 2024, 51 in 2025, and three more in 2026. The Government Media Office reports 260 media workers killed since the start of the genocide. The number surpasses journalist deaths in both world wars, the Vietnam War, the Yugoslav wars, and the Afghanistan conflict combined. The whistleblowers say Ginsberg canceled the Index to avoid criticism from pro-Israel donors, Israel’s government, and its allies. CPJ’s donors include Rupert Murdoch-owned publications, The New York Times-affiliated figures, and Ariel Investments, linked to Israeli cybersecurity companies. Ginsberg told staff in an internal email that the Impunity Index had “many flaws” and did not accurately measure accountability. She proposed replacing it with a “lighter lift” statement focusing on five emblematic cases, including Shireen Abu Akleh and Gerry Ortega. Staffers argue the replacement statement fails to reflect the scale of Israel’s killings and produces minimal media coverage. They described “deep disappointment, anger, and resentment” among CPJ employees.
CPJ defended its decision, claiming it prioritizes “efforts to pursue accountability” for journalists’ murders. However, the organization has not clarified how scrapping the ranking improves transparency or accountability. Earlier this month, Omar Shakir, former Israel/Palestine director at Human Rights Watch, resigned over the group’s suppression of a report labeling Israel’s denial of Palestinian refugees’ right of return a “crime against humanity.” Whistleblowers say a similar pattern is now visible at CPJ.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67226&slug=whistleblowers-cpj-hid-israels-targeting-of-journalists


Videoscreen grab: journalist jailed who witnessed Shireen Abu-Akleh’s killing
Al Jazeera - Feb 13, 2026 By Priyanka Shankar
{Why did Israel jail journalist who witnessed Shireen Abu-Akleh’s killing?
Palestinian journalist Ali al-Samoudi was working with Al Jazeera’s Abu Akleh when she was shot dead by an Israeli sniper in 2022. Palestinian journalist Ali al-Samoudi, who has been imprisoned by Israel for almost a year, is now at risk of dying, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate has warned. Al-Samoudi, 59, was one of the journalists with Al Jazeera’s Shireen Abu Akleh when she was fatally shot in the head by an Israeli sniper in Jenin, the occupied West Bank, in May 2022. He was arrested by Israeli forces in April last year during an early morning raid on his son’s home in Jenin on charges of allegedly transferring funds to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which Israel considers a terrorist organisation. Israel later said it found “no sufficient evidence” against him, however. Since May 2025, al-Samoudi, who was also injured by gunfire when Abu Akleh was killed, has been under arbitrary detention. In a statement issued in January, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said al-Samoudi has not been granted a fair trial and that his arrest is “a blatant violation of international law and press freedom”. The syndicate also warned “that his life is now at risk” due to the harsh and inhumane treatment he has been experiencing in prison.
Why has Israel arrested him? How has he been treated in prison?
Here’s what we know:
Why did Israel arrest al-Samoudi?
Israel initially arrested al-Samoudi on charges of funding terrorism. He was detained in a military barracks in Jenin, in the occupied West Bank, then transferred to the Jalameh detention centre, near Haifa in Israel, and later to Megiddo prison in northern Israel, the Palestinian news agency, Wafa, reported. On May 8, 2025, Wafa reported that an Israeli court had issued an administrative detention order against him for a period of six months. This was because the Israeli army said it did not have “sufficient evidence” to formally charge him and had hence issued an administrative detention order. In a statement issued to the United States news group CNN, the Israeli army said: “As sufficient evidence was not found against him, and in light of the accumulated intelligence material, security authorities requested to consider issuing an administrative detention order.” The military stated the order was justified as al-Samoudi’s “presence” posed “a danger to the security of the region”. Since then, al-Samoudi has been held in administrative detention and his detention order has been repeatedly renewed. In January this year, Israel extended al-Samoudi’s detention for the third time, for an additional four months. The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate has called the move “a blatant violation of human rights”.
What is administrative detention?
Administrative detention is a protocol under which a person can be imprisoned without charge or trial for an unspecified time period. According to B’Tslem, the Israeli information centre for human rights in the occupied territory, the Israel Prison Service (IPS) was holding 3,474 Palestinians in administrative detention at the end of September 2025. The human rights group noted that Israel frequently uses administrative detention for Palestinians “for periods ranging from several months to several years, without charging them, without telling them what they are accused of, and without disclosing the alleged evidence to them or to their lawyers”. “The power to incarcerate people who have not been convicted or even charged with anything for lengthy periods of time, based on secret ‘evidence’ that they cannot challenge, is an extreme power,” B’Tslem said, noting that Israeli courts routinely uphold such detention orders. According to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS), which supports Palestinian detainees in Israel and advocates for them, as of July 2025, al-Samoudi was one of 22 Palestinian journalists being held in administrative detention. In a September 2025 report, Wafa reported that al-Samoudi had told his lawyer he had been informed that Israel would not bring charges against him related to his journalistic work “lest there be an international backlash and scandal for Israel”. “I was shot the day my colleague Shireen Abu Akleh was martyred, so my detention is arbitrary, unjust, and illegal,” he said.
What conditions is al-Samoudi being held in?
The PPS reported that in detention, al-Samoudi’s health has deteriorated significantly. “Al-Samoudi has lost approximately 40 kilograms of his body weight and suffers from multiple medical conditions, including scabies, diabetes, high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, continuous gum bleeding, sudden heart rate spikes, recurrent fainting episodes, chronic headaches, urinary tract infections, and problems in his left ear, amid deliberate medical neglect,” the PPS reported last month. Wafa reported that when he was held in Section 15 of Israel’s notorious Negev prison in September last year, he was also refused medical treatment. During his transfer to Megiddo, he was treated in an “inhumane manner with clothes being confiscated and his glasses broken”, Wafa reported, citing the Palestinian Detainees and Ex-Detainees Authority. The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said it has issued an “urgent appeal” to global human rights organisations and journalists’ unions to “exert pressure” on Israel “to end the policy of administrative detention against journalists, secure the immediate release of Ali Al-Samoudi, and hold those responsible accountable for the ongoing violations against Palestinian journalism”. The syndicate stated: “The continued use of administrative detention against journalists represents a systematic policy aimed at silencing the Palestinian voice and suppressing the truth.”
Has Israel detained or killed Palestinian journalists in the past?
Yes. Israel has a track record of arresting and killing Palestinian journalists. According to a report by Reporters Without Borders (RSF), last year 67 journalists were killed globally, of which 29 were Palestinian journalists killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. Thibaut Bruttin, RSF’s director general, said these journalists had been killed “not by accident, and they weren’t collateral victims. They were killed, targeted for their work.” Nearly 300 journalists and media workers have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza during 26 months of genocidal war since October 2023 – or about 12 journalists every month – according to a tally by Shireen.ps, a monitoring website named after Abu Akleh. According to a January 2026 report by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), the number of Palestinian journalists imprisoned by Israel has also risen since the onset of the start of the Israel-Gaza war in October 2023. While a US-brokered ceasefire was announced in October 2025, Israeli strikes on Gaza have continued, killing at least 591 Palestinians since then. The journalists’ rights body noted that Israel had arrested more than 90 Palestinian journalists during the course of the war. “Often, journalists are imprisoned on undisclosed charges or held without charge in arbitrary detention – in contravention of international law,” the CPJ report stated. “While Israeli citizens enjoy some civil rights and freedoms, legal experts identify a radically different standard of justice for Palestinians in its occupied territory.” Besides killing and imprisoning journalists, Israel has also banned foreign reporters from entering Gaza. Only a few exceptions have been made for journalists agreeing to enter as part of tightly controlled tours organised by the Israeli military – despite calls from media groups and press freedom organisations for more open access.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/13/why-did-israel-jail-journalist-who-witnessed-shireen-abu-aklehs-killing

Al Jazeera - Jan 29, 2026
{Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda with 1.4m followers reports TikTok ban
Emmy-winning Owda points to changes in TikTok’s US ownership, remarks from Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu to explain ban. Award-winning Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda has said she has been permanently banned from TikTok, days after the social media platform was acquired by new investors in the United States.
Owda, an Emmy Award-winning journalist and contributor to Al Jazeera’s AJ+ from Gaza, shared a video on her Instagram and X accounts on Wednesday, telling her followers that her TikTok account had been banned. “TikTok deleted my account. I had 1.4 million followers there, and I have been building that platform for four years,” Owda said in the video filmed from Gaza. “I expected that it will be restricted, like every time, not banned forever,” she added. Al Jazeera sent a query to TikTok inquiring about Owda’s account. Hours after Owda shared her video, an account that appeared to have the same username was still visible on TikTok in Australia – but not in the Middle East, when Al Jazeera checked in different geographies. In her video on Wednesday, Owda pointed to recent remarks from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well as Adam Presser, the new CEO of TikTok’s US arm, as a possible explanation for the ban. Netanyahu met with pro-Israel influencers in New York in September last year, telling them that he hoped the “purchase” of TikTok goes through. “We have to fight with the weapons that apply to the battlefield in which we engage, and the most important ones are social media,” Netanyahu, who is a war crimes suspect, said at the time. “The most important purchase that is going on right now is … TikTok,” Netanyahu added. “TikTok, number one, number one, and I hope it goes through, because it can be consequential.” TikTok announced last week that a deal to establish a separate version of the platform in the US had been completed, with the new entity controlled by investment firms, many of which are US companies, including several linked to President Donald Trump. Owda also shared an undated video of Adam Presser, the new CEO of TikTok’s US arm. In the video, Presser speaks about changes made at TikTok, where he previously worked as head of operations in the US, saying “the use of the term Zionist as a proxy for a protected attribute” had been designated “as hate speech”. “There’s no finish line to moderating hate speech, identifying hateful trends, trying to keep the platform safe,” Presser said. Zionism is a nationalist ideology that emerged in the late 1800s in Europe, calling for the creation of a Jewish state. Owda’s social media presence grew from posting daily videos in which she greeted her audience, saying, “It’s Bisan From Gaza – and I’m still alive.” She made a documentary of the same name with Al Jazeera’s AJ+, which was awarded an Emmy in the Outstanding Hard News Feature Story category in 2024. Her video on Wednesday came as Israel’s top court again postponed making a decision on whether foreign journalists should be allowed to enter and report on Gaza independently of the Israeli military. Despite the ongoing ceasefire, an Israeli attack last week killed three Palestinian journalists in Gaza. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, at least 207 Palestinian journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza since October 2023, with the “vast majority” killed by Israeli forces.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/29/palestinian-journalist-bisan-owda-with-1-4m-followers-reports-tiktok-ban

Al Jazeera - Jan 29, 2026
{Al Jazeera denounces YouTube’s compliance with Israel’s ban on network
Livestreams of Al Jazeera Arabic, Al Jazeera English and Al Jazeera Mubasher blocked in Israel.
Al Jazeera has condemned YouTube’s compliance with an Israeli law banning the network’s livestreams in the country, warning that the move signals how major tech companies can be “co-opted as instruments of regimes hostile to freedom”. YouTube’s submission to Israel’s ban became apparent on Wednesday, days after Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Karahi ordered a 90-day extension of an existing ban on the network’s operations in Israel, blocking broadcasting and internet companies from carrying the network’s content. On Thursday, with livestreams of Al Jazeera Arabic, Al Jazeera English and Al Jazeera Mubasher blocked in Israel, the network denounced YouTube for failing to uphold the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. “Such principles mandate that global tech companies ensure freedom of expression and resist government pressures that lead to the withholding of the truth and the silencing of independent journalism,” it said in a statement. “The Network stresses that this escalation is part of a broader and systematic pattern of Israeli violations, including the killing and detention of its journalists and the closure of its offices in the occupied territories, aimed at suppressing the truth.” Israel has killed more than 270 journalists and media workers since it launched its genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023. Some have been from Al Jazeera, including correspondent Anas al-Sharif, 28, who was killed with three of his colleagues in an Israeli strike on a media tent in Gaza City in August.
In May 2024, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet voted to shut down Al Jazeera’s operations in Israel, weeks after the Israeli parliament passed a law allowing the temporary closure of foreign broadcasters considered to be a “threat to national security”. In September that year, Israeli forces stormed Al Jazeera’s offices in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, confiscating equipment and documents and closing the network’s office. In December last year, the Israeli parliament approved an extension of the 2024 law, called the “Al Jazeera law”, for two more years. In Thursday’s statement, Al Jazeera called on YouTube and other digital companies to immediately lift the ban on its channels, urging media freedom and human rights organisations join it in condemning Israel’s targeting of the media.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/29/al-jazeera-denounces-youtubes-compliance-with-israels-ban-on-network
