‘Israeli' army accuses journalist of ‘Hollywood' fakery in Gaza starvation coverage
Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif, a correspondent for Al Jazeera, has issued a public statement condemning renewed threats and incitement by the 'Israeli' military over his reporting from war-torn Gaza. In a post shared on his social media accounts, Al-Sharif wrote: 'Once again, the Israeli army spokesperson has launched a campaign of threats and incitement against me because of my work as a journalist with Al Jazeera. I reaffirm: I, Anas Al-Sharif, am a journalist with no political affiliations. My only mission is to report the truth from the ground, as it is, without bias. At a time when a deadly famine is ravaging Gaza, speaking the truth has become, in the eyes of the occupation, a threat.' His statement comes in response to a post by Avichay Adraee, the Arabic-language spokesperson for the 'Israeli' army, who accused Al-Sharif of fabricating a report that recently went viral. The footage showed Al-Sharif emotionally reporting live from outside a hospital in Gaza, where a woman fainted on camera, due to hunger, prompting the journalist to break down in tears. Adraee dismissed the scene as staged, calling it a 'Hollywood production - Gaza branch,' in a video posted to X. He accused Al Jazeera of colluding with Hamas and referred to Al-Sharif's tears as 'crocodile tears,' claiming the moment was a 'carefully planned shot.' He also repeated a common narrative by 'Israeli' officials, blaming Hamas for Gaza's suffering by alleging it 'steals humanitarian aid,' while ignoring 'Israel's' ongoing blockade that has largely halted aid entry.

Completion of "Tawjihi" Exam Grading and Start of Verification Process - Jordan News
The Ministry of Education has completed the grading process for all subjects of the General Secondary Education Certificate Examination (Tawjihi), according to Director of Examinations and Assessments at the Ministry, Mohammad Shehadeh. اضافة اعلان Speaking to Al-Mamlaka on Wednesday, Shehadeh stated that the grading and mark entry processes have been finalized. The relevant teams at the ministry have now begun the verification and auditing phase of the exam booklets and answer sheets. He added that the ministry will not set a date for the announcement of results until all verification procedures — including auditing, cross-checking, and data entry — are fully completed, ensuring the accuracy of the final outcomes. Shehadeh emphasized that administrative and technical teams are making substantial efforts to release the results according to the ministry's established timeline. Extracting final grades requires extensive time and effort even after grading, to ensure that all student rights are preserved. He explained that each answer booklet undergoes a comprehensive multi-stage review process, which includes more than 27 steps, involving multiple specialized committees to inspect, audit, and cross-check both manually and electronically — ensuring accurate correction and mark aggregation. In a previous statement, Shehadeh estimated that the Tawjihi results would likely be announced during the first third of August, noting that results typically require 3 to 4 weeks to process after the final exam. This year's exams concluded on July 10, having begun on June 19, with approximately 209,871 students participating. He reaffirmed that the Ministry of Education is the only official source for announcing the results and their release date, urging the public not to believe any rumors or unofficial reports.
