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'.
