Al Jazeera denounces Israeli incitement campaign against its journalists in Gaza
Tribune News Network Doha The Israeli occupation forces and their spokespersons continue to escalate a campaign of incitement targeting Al Jazeera Media Network's correspondents and journalists in the Gaza Strip, with a particular focus on correspondent Anas Al-Sharif. Al Jazeera Media Network has strongly condemned the ongoing campaign of incitement against its staff, which has persisted since the start of its coverage of the Israeli war on Gaza. In a press statement, the Network said: 'This incitement represents a dangerous attempt to justify the targeting of our journalists on the ground. We hold the Israeli occupation authorities fully responsible for the safety of our personnel and urge influential states and international organisations to take immediate action to protect all journalists in Gaza, allowing them to perform their duties freely and without intimidation.' 'Israel's continued obstruction of international journalists from entering Gaza to report on the catastrophic situation has placed an even greater burden on Al Jazeera's journalists, who have shouldered the responsibility of conveying the truth as they witness it firsthand, despite enduring extreme hardships, including starvation, violence, terror, and a complete lack of life's most basic necessities,' the statement added.
