Knowing there were al Jazeera journalists who were proactively working with and for Hamas, including al Jazeera journalists holding hostages, doesn’t help al Jazeera’s case with the PA and Fatah.
Fatah and Hamas are old enemies. People conveniently forget or don’t realize what happened before and after The Battle of Gaza (aka The Gaza Civil War) in 2007, where Hamas was throwing Fatah and their supporters from the tops of buildings, executions, there was torture, mutilations of bodies, etc., especially after Hamas took total control of the enclave.– RdM
France 24 — Al Jazeera has condemned the Palestinian Authority’s decision to suspend it in the occupied West Bank and shut down its bureau in Ramallah. On New Year’s Day, the culture, interior and communications ministers jointly made the decision accusing Al Jazeera of broadcasting material that was “deceiving and stirring strife”. The move came after the PA criticised the network over its coverage of an ongoing standoff between Palestinian security forces and militant fighters in the Jenin refugee camp.
