Four Journalists and Their Families Martyred in Gaza
Amir Hagag Four journalists and their families, one of whom was lost contact two days ago, were killed in a new crime committed by the Israeli occupation. The Journalists Syndicate reported the martyrdom of journalist Nour Qandil, a martyr of free speech, her husband, journalist Khaled Abu Saif, and their daughter, after Israeli aircraft targeted their safe home in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip. The occupation assassinated photographer Aziz al-Hajjar in Bir al-Na'ja, north of the Gaza Strip, who was martyred along with his wife and children. In the town of al-Qarara in the south, two days after contact was lost with him, journalist Abdul Rahman Tawfiq al-Abadlah was killed. The Journalists Syndicate confirmed that the number of journalists martyred in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the aggression has exceeded all known figures in modern times, an unprecedented event in contemporary history, both in terms of the number of martyrs and the brutality of the direct targeting of their families and homes. No war in recent decades has witnessed such a large amount of bloodshed among camera and microphone carriers, reflecting the clear intent of the occupation to eradicate the truth. The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate called on the International Criminal Court to assume its legal and moral responsibilities and expedite the issuance of arrest warrants for the Israeli occupation leaders involved in the deliberate killing of Palestinian journalists and the targeting of their families and homes. It stated: "This systematic targeting of journalists is a full-fledged war crime that requires immediate prosecution and trial before international justice. The killers must not escape punishment, and the innocent blood of journalists must not remain mere numbers in cold UN reports." The Syndicate held the Israeli occupation fully and directly responsible for these heinous crimes, stressing that targeting journalists and their families is a terrorist act and a crime against humanity that will not go unpunished. It also warned that the silence of the international community and human rights organizations, and the inaction of UN institutions, constitutes clear complicity with the executioner and gives the killer further green light to perpetrate massacres against the free press. She stressed that the blood of the martyrs will not be shed in vain, and that Palestinian journalists will continue their mission, armed with faith, truth, and justice, even if it requires each journalist to carry their own coffin on their back while covering the massacre. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War

Egyptian Journalists Conclude Casting Votes for Syndicate's Midterm Elections
Taarek Refaat Journalists concluded on Friday to cast their votes in the Journalists Syndicate's midterm elections, which are considered one of the most heated rounds. The General Assembly had previously called for elections four times, but they were never completed, making this round one of the longest in its history. Voting committees, distributed across the Syndicate's floors, witnessed long queues of journalists, queuing to cast their votes. The competition is for the position of Syndicate President and six other seats on the Syndicate Council. Gamal Abdel Rahim, head of the committee supervising the Journalists Syndicate elections, said that voting was supposed to close at 7:00 PM today. However, due to the large turnout of journalists, it was decided to extend the voting period by an additional hour to allow everyone the opportunity to cast their votes. The counting of ballots for the position of the head of the Syndicate will begin, and the results will be announced first. Then the counting of ballot boxes for the seats of the council members will begin, provided that this is done in the presence of delegates and the media outlets permitted to cover the vote. Each candidate for the position of head of the association has the right to be present, along with his representative and two delegates from the members of the general assembly (working), during the process of collecting the votes of the sub-committees, which is done by the 'General Committee' in the vote counting hall. Candidates for the position of head of the Journalists Syndicate, Abdel Mohsen Salama and Khaled El-Balshy, affirmed their commitment to the strength, unity, and values of the syndicate, a day before the Syndicate's elections.
