Al Jazeera condemns Israeli incitement against Gaza reporter Anas al-Sharif
Al Jazeera Media Network has denounced the Israeli military for what it called a 'campaign of incitement' against its reporters in the Gaza Strip, including most notably Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent Anas al-Sharif. In a statement on Friday, Al Jazeera said it 'strongly condemns and denounces these relentless efforts, which have consistently incited against its staff since the beginning of its coverage of the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza'. 'The Network considers this incitement a dangerous attempt to justify the targeting of its journalists in the field.' The statement comes just days after Israeli army spokesperson Avichai Adraee reshared a video on social media accusing al-Sharif of being a member of Hamas's military wing – a claim that has been forcefully rejected as false. Israel has routinely accused Palestinian journalists in Gaza of being members of Hamas since it launched its war on the enclave in October 2023 as part of what rights groups say is an effort to discredit their reporting on Israeli abuses. The Israeli military has killed more than 200 reporters and media workers since its bombardment began, including several Al Jazeera journalists and their relatives. On Thursday, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said it was 'deeply alarmed' by Adraee's threats against al-Sharif and called on the international community to protect him. 'This is not the first time Al-Sharif has been targeted by the Israeli military, but the danger to his life is now acute,' CPJ's Regional Director Sara Qudah said in a statement. 'Israel has killed at least six Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza during this war. These latest unfounded accusations represent an effort to manufacture consent to kill Al-Sharif.' In its statement, Al Jazeera Media Network said it held the Israeli authorities 'fully responsible' for the safety of its staff. It also called on states and international organisations to ensure that all journalists in Gaza are protected. '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,' the network said. Those reporters, it added, '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'.

Pro-Palestinian Lebanese fighter released from French prison after 40 years
France has released Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, a pro-Palestinian Lebanese fighter jailed since 1984, and put him on a flight to Beirut after he spent nearly four decades behind bars. Shortly before 3:40am (01:30 GMT) on Friday, a convoy of six vehicles with flashing lights was seen leaving the Lannemezan prison in southern France, according to journalists with the AFP news agency on the ground. A source confirmed the 74-year-old had been freed and later boarded a flight to Lebanon. Abdallah, who was convicted in 1987 for his role in the killings of United States military attache Charles Robert Ray and Israeli diplomat Yacov Barsimantov in Paris, had long been eligible for release. However, repeated applications were rejected, often due to pressure from the US, which was a civil party in Abdallah's case. Last month, the Paris Court of Appeal ruled in favour of his release, effective on Friday, on the condition that Abdallah leave French territory and never return. His lawyer, Jean-Louis Chalanset, told AFP that the former fighter appeared 'very happy' during their final visit 'even though he knows he is returning to the Middle East in an extremely tough context for Lebanese and Palestinian populations'. Abdallah, the founder of the now-defunct Lebanese Revolutionary Armed Factions, had declared during a recent visit by a lawmaker that he remained a 'militant with a struggle'. French police uncovered submachine guns and communication equipment in one of his flats at the time of his arrest. Abdallah has never expressed regret for his actions and has always insisted he is a 'fighter' who has battled for the rights of Palestinians and is not a 'criminal'. The Paris court described his behaviour in prison as irreproachable and said in November that he posed 'no serious risk in terms of committing new terrorism acts'. The appeals court cited the length of Abdallah's detention and his advanced age, calling his continued imprisonment 'disproportionate'. In France, inmates serving life sentences are typically released after less than 30 years. Abdallah's family said they would greet him at Beirut's airport before travelling to his hometown of Kobayat in northern Lebanon, where a reception has been planned.
