“Last month CPJ warned of an Israeli military smear campaign against Anas which it feared was manufacturing evidence to justify his assassination… It’s becoming clear that just b/c Israeli authorities say a journalist is a hamas fighter, that can’t be taken at face value.” Speaking on Monocle Radio

Stop killing our colleagues. Stop banning us from working. Stand up for journalists and the free press before it’s too late.

Just last month, the Committee to Protect Journalists warned it was “gravely worried about the safety of Al Jazeera Arabic’s Gaza correspondent Anas Al-Sharif, who is being targeted by an Israeli military smear campaign, which he believes is a precursor to his assassination.” cpj.org/2025/07/cpj-...

Heartbreaking reporting by @leilama.bsky.social: "A single moment that changed the face of a city and its people. At 6:08 p.m. on August 4, 2020, 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded in the Port of Beirut, ravaging 12 miles of the city.

It was the third largest non-nuclear explosion in history."

5 years after Beirut blast, victims struggle to rebuild lives as leaders evade blame

Five years ago, one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history ripped apart Beirut's waterfront with a terrifying power. The blast, which many still refer to as "the bomb," was not terrorism, no...

because Israel’s govt is now under overwhelming international pressure. It’s about bringing about, as the UN and all international NGOs are calling for, a permanent stop to the blockade on aid entering Gaza, and making sure the flow continues from now on.” Speaking on Monocle Radio.

“It’s important to point out that once you reach this state of acute starvation, of famine, it’s not a switch - this won’t suddenly stop by sending some food in. Irreversible damage is now being done to the body, even for those who survive. It’s not about ‘pauses’ in bombing to send in a bit of aid…
