Anas Al-Sharif helped Reuters win a Pulitzer in 2024. This was their headline when Israel assassinated him a year ago today. Justifying the murder of journalists.

“Happy Eid”
To the Muslim and Druze citizens of Israel, and all those across the region, I wish you a happy and blessed Eid al-Adha. May the coming days bring peace, security, and good tidings for us all.

Wild to think about how if Kristof lived in Gaza or the West Bank, the Israeli military would likely by now have just announced he was aiding terrorism and blown him up with guided missiles, as they’ve done to countless Palestinian journalists over the last three years.

Barely a mention in Western media.
Israel’s parliament has passed a bill advancing the annexation of the occupied West Bank, a blatant violation of international law. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/3htm6o

“The issues are simple, and the people are complicated,” says Jared Kushner. Kushner and Steve Witkoff, two businessmen who came up through the world of New York real estate, tell Lesley Stahl their unconventional approach to diplomacy. They helped broker the Israel-Gaza ceasefire and hostage exchange. cbsn.ws/3Wg4JAb

This was in the West Bank. No accountability, no headline news, this is daily life for Palestinians under Israel’s illegal, decades-long occupation.

Yahya’s photos before the holocaust in Gaza. Yahya was murdered a few minutes ago. He was a father and a husband. He was building a human galaxy. Israel turned that into ashes.
Utterly heartbreaking: Israel has just murdered Yahya Barzaq, one of Gaza’s most prominent photographers. He was capturing the beautiful moments of newborns in Gaza before the genocide He posted 1 hour ago, choking up with pain at displacement again from his bleak house window

During our successfully conducted visit today to Dr. Husam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, who was arrested in December 2024 and remains incarcerated in Israel, a serious and alarming picture emerged. Since his arrest, Dr. Abu Safiya has lost approximately 25 kilograms. He suffers from serious scabies and heart problems but is not receiving any medical treatment. It became clear during the visit that Dr. Abu Safiya has not been brought before a judge, investigated, or given any information about the reason for his arrest since March.

This was twenty-one months ago. Israeli forces have killed more than 15,070 kids since.
Kids in Gaza hosting a press conference, in English, to beg the world for life. “We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace…we want to live as the other children live.” Over 4200 kids, like these, have been killed.
