'No Other Land' directors fume as Israeli military blocks media trip to view settler violence
'The next time your politicians call this country the only democracy in the Middle East, film this so that they can see how democratic it really is. Film the reality and truth of what they're doing to us,' Oscar-winning Palestinian filmmaker Basel Adra told dozens of international journalists at the entrance to his village in the occupied West Bank, which had unexpectedly turned into a heavily manned Israeli military checkpoint. 'The only democracy in the Middle East is preventing international media from filming villages after settlers attacked them.' Exactly three months ago to the day, Adra, along with No Other Land co-directors Yuval Abraham and Hamdan Ballal, was on stage at the 97th Academy Awards to receive the award for Best Documentary. It was the first time a Palestinian film had won an Oscar. On Monday, those behind this remarkable achievement were reduced to arguing without success with masked Israeli forces to let their group through to the villages that have captured the world's attention. No Other Land documented the struggles of the residents of Masafer Yatta, a cluster of hamlets and villages, to stop the Israeli military from demolishing their communities. In the 1980s, the army designated it as a military training area, ordering residents to leave, a fate that has befallen many Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, particularly agricultural communities. Despite this, about 1,000 people have stayed in the area, including Adra and his family. The community has faced regular attacks from Israeli settlers. The violence intensified after the October 7, 2023 Hamas -led attack on Israel that triggered the war in Gaza. With international attention focused on the war, Israeli ministers in the far-right government, many themselves prominent settlers themselves, urged the seizure of Palestinian land. 'I think the film made a huge difference in the opinions of people all over the world … but sadly it did not make a difference for the people who have power. Israel is an ally of your countries. Here it is blocking journalists from these allied countries from visiting and seeing these crimes being committed,' said Abraham, an Israeli Jew, who made the trip from Jerusalem to help Adra's tour. On Sunday evening, the Israeli army declared the village of Khirbet Khallet Al Dabaa, where the tour was set to take place, a closed military zone, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa. The day before, Israeli forces arrested two foreign activists working to support the communities in Masafer Yatta. Attacks on these communities rose to critical levels in the months after No Other Land was released, a situation that the filmmakers tried to show the world's media on Monday. Ballal was brutally attacked by a mob of Israeli settlers in March. 'There is destruction of water wells, pipes and solar panels. Settlers have come into the village and set up in the area under military protection. They have attacked children and pregnant women,' Adra said. Addressing the Israeli troops, whose numbers soon swelled to include more soldiers, as well as civilian and border police, he said: 'I have so many videos of settlers here to attack us and shoot us and you do nothing. Right now when journalists are here to see this and interview people you come to prevent them.' A softly spoken soldier, face covered with a balaclava, only reiterated that his forces were there to 'keep the public order'. 'Last week had a lot of disturbance to the order,' he added. 'In this crossroads, no journalists, no guests, to keep the order in the area. Right here you are a public disturbance.' These mild exchanges were the extent of the confrontations on Monday. Even the arrival of a senior Palestinian Authority official to observe the situation caused little commotion. But hours after the media left, the reports of violence and intimidation against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank resumed, including the military reportedly shooting a minor and settlers using drones to intimidate Palestinian shepherds and their sheep near Bethlehem.

UAE gets first homegrown ad exchange platform to combat advertising fraud
In a landmark move for the region's digital advertising landscape, VeraViews has announced the official launch of the UAE's first home-grown Ad Exchange and Supply-Side Platform (SSP), established to set a new gold standard for fraud-free programmatic advertising. Developed under the Ministry of Economy's NextGenFDI initiative, the platform connects advertisers directly with verified local publishers and ensures that campaigns are delivered to real people on verified platforms. It also aims to significantly reduce ad fraud and boost the UAE's profile with regards to anti-money laundering and digital crime prevention by cutting out intermediaries and minimising invalid traffic (IVT). The UAE government has applauded the initiative as a key step toward realising the goals of the Digital Economy Strategy 2031. 'By launching the UAE's first home-grown, fraud-proof Ad Exchange, (the firm) speaks to our mandate for trust, transparency, and advanced data governance," said Dr Thani Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade. KT as first official publisher Khaleej Times has been confirmed as the first official publisher partner on VeraViews, making it the first media outlet in the country to offer 100 per cent verified, fraud-free ad inventory through a locally built, fully transparent programmatic platform. The minister added, "Khaleej Times' early adoption signals that our media sector is ready to set global benchmarks, while ensuring every advertising dirham amplifies real engagement and safeguards our reputation as a premier, tech-led business hub.' Charles Yardley, CEO of Khaleej Times, welcomed the partnership saying: 'Khaleej Times is proud to light the way for the UAE's next-gen digital economy. Onboarding to the VeraViews Ad Exchange means our inventory is not just premium — it will be 100 per certified and fraud-free with a significant increase in demand. Advertisers gain instant, accountable access to loyal Gulf audiences, while we advance the nation's drive for transparent, tech-led media.' Olena Buyan, chief product officer at VeraViews, highlighted the strategic impact of the media organisation's involvement: 'Khaleej Times onboarding as the first premium publisher partner signals — both to the market and to Centennial 2071 ambitions — that the UAE intends to lead, not follow, in creating a trust-first advertising ecosystem.' Turning point for advertisers The launch is being hailed as a turning point for UAE advertisers and publishers who have long been dependent on international ad platforms — systems often criticised for lack of transparency, high fraud rates, and limited control. With VeraViews, brands can directly connect with verified local publishers, targeting 100 per cent real audiences based in the country. The platform's technology stack, including AdTrace and Proof of Traffic (PoT), uses AI to detect fraud and incorporates strict Know Your Business (KYB) onboarding. This ensures that every ad impression is legitimate, every transaction is fully traceable, and every participant is verified. At its core, an Ad Exchange is a real-time digital marketplace that connects advertisers with available ad space across websites and mobile apps. The accompanying Supply-Side Platform (SSP) allows publishers such as local news sites, video platforms, and mobile apps to manage and sell that ad space automatically, giving them full control over monetisation while protecting their brand integrity. 'The launch of the VeraViews Ad Exchange and SSP marks a pivotal moment for the region's digital advertising ecosystem," said Jean Laurent Vilon, managing director of global media agency Mazarine. "It not only elevates transparency and accountability in digital media but also unlocks measurable value for the premium brands we represent. 'We're proud to support this next-generation solution, which aligns perfectly with our commitment to innovation, performance, and integrity in brand storytelling," Vilon added.

Lebanon marks 20th anniversary of assassination of Samir Kassir
Lebanon on Monday marked the 20th anniversary of the assassination of Samir Kassir, a prominent Lebanese journalist and intellectual killed by a car bomb in 2005. Two decades on, the perpetrators of his murder, which was part of a wave of killings of people opposed to the grip Syria had over Lebanon, have never been held accountable. On Sunday an art installation called Dream Manifesto opened on Samir Kassir Square in central Beirut. Named after an article he wrote in 2004, it is part of the Beirut Spring Festival, organised by the Samir Kassir Foundation, and is described as 'a tribute to his belief that, despite our reality, we still have the right, and the power, to dream in this region'. The installation is dedicated to Mr Kassir and his wife Giselle Khoury, a journalist who died after a long battle with cancer in October 2023. Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, who attended Sunday's event, paid tribute to Mr Kassir, and said 'his word lives on'. 'Today, I recall Samir's voice, thought, and pen – he who carried the cause of freedom and democracy in the face of tyranny and tutelage, and who wrote with the courage of one who knew that the truth is uncompromising,' he said. Speaking at the event, Rana Khoury, the daughter of Giselle, highlighted the important of justice and freedom when remembering Mr Kassir and Ms Khoury. Culture Minister Ghassan Salame echoed this sentiment, calling for accountability for killings, like that of Mr Kassir, that have gone unpunished. Tuesday will bring the 20th edition of the Samir Kassir Award, which recognises the work of journalists who 'hold the powerful accountable, to expose corruption, and to give a voice to the voiceless', said Sandra De Waele, ambassador to Lebanon of the EU, which grants the award. She said that, 20 years on from its creation, the award 'remains as relevant as ever'. Mr Kassir was well-known for his columns in the popular newspaper Al-Nahar, where he regularly spoke out against the Syrian occupation of Lebanon, its influence on Lebanese affairs and the grip of intelligence services on the country. His assassination has often been blamed on the Lebanese armed group and political party Hezbollah – an ally of the Assad regime in Syria, which was deposed last December. He is one of many prominent Lebanese figures assassinated after railing against the Syrian presence in Lebanon. The Syrian army withdrew from Lebanon in April 2005 after nationwide protests over the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafic Hariri in a car bombing the previous month. While its troops left, Syria's influence over Lebanon never really went away. But with the Assad regime toppled by a lightning rebel offensive last December and Hezbollah diminished by Israel's war on Lebanon last year, there are renewed hopes that justice may be done for Mr Kassir and others like him. More generally, there is optimism that Lebanon's era of widespread impunity and a judiciary in thrall to political influence may end. The Committee to Protect Journalists, which works to protect press freedom around the world, said the impunity surrounding the murder of Mr Kassir and other journalists killed in Lebanon 'not only dishonours his memory but also sends a chilling message to journalists across the region: that truth-telling can be fatal, and justice may never follow'. Earlier this year, in his first visit to Syria since becoming Prime Minister, Mr Salam requested the new Syrian government's help in handing over suspects linked to bombings in Lebanon. Mr Salam was appointed in January, days after Lebanon ended a two-and-a-half-year presidential vacancy when parliament elected former the army commander Joseph Aoun as the country's new head of state. Mr Aoun has repeatedly reiterated that independence of the judiciary must be respected, while Mr Salam has vowed to reopen the stalled investigation into the deadly 2020 Beirut explosion – another national catastrophe for which no one has been held accountable.
