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.

Cambodia calls for immediate ceasefire with Thailand
Cambodia on Friday called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire following an escalation in violence along its border with Thailand. "Cambodia asked for an immediate ceasefire - unconditionally - and we also call for the peaceful solution of the dispute," Cambodia's ambassador to the UN, Chhea Keo, said following a meeting of the UN Security Council in New York. Keo dismissed Bangkok's accusations that Cambodia had attacked the country, pointing out that Cambodia's army is only a third the size of Thailand's. He also said that Cambodia lacks a fully equipped air force. At the closed-door meeting, members of the Security Council called on both sides to exercise extreme restraint. Long-standing tensions between the two South-East Asian neighbours flared on Thursday, when exchanges of fire broke out along the border. In response, the Thai military said it had deployed fighter jets against Cambodian positions. Cambodia responded with artillery fire, hitting areas including civilian infrastructure. A petrol station and a hospital were struck. Each side has blamed the other for initiating the latest round of fighting. According to media reports, Thailand carried out further airstrikes on Friday.
