This morning, Israel shut down the offices.of Al Jazeera in Ramallah.
Here was the reason given:
Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi confirmed that security forces raided the news organization’s main West Bank offices to “shut down the station” and enforce a closure order. In a statement on X, he accused the Qatari government-backed network of being a “mouthpiece” for Israel’s enemies and said Israel was acting to protect the safety of its soldiers.
From the first moment of Hamas starting its orgy of rape, kidnapping and murder on October 7, Al Jazeera has been solidly on the Palestinian side in their war against Israel.
This is not hyperbole, or Israeli hasbara. This comes from a major Palestinian leader.
Deputy Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council Hassan Khreisha said that Al Jazeera has been part of the Palestinian people's battle since the beginning of the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa.MP Khreisha added in a written statement today, Sunday, that Al Jazeera was the voice of our Palestinian people and provided them with a lot in order to convey their just narrative to the world, spread awareness of our Palestinian cause, prove the truth and correct the narrative of a war of extermination against our Palestinian people.
In English, the media is defending Al Jazeera as one of.the few objective media sources for Gaza. But in Arabic, they are a lot more honest.
Khreisha is not Hamas. He is deputy speaker of the Palestinian Authority Legislative Council, under Mahmoud Abbas.
Which means that he is also saying that the "moderate" PA has been solidly on Hamas' side since October 7 as well.
