BREAKING: HAMAS OFFICIAL STATEMENT
“The confiscation by the Zionist occupation authorities of the Associated Press broadcast equipment today is a repeated arbitrary and oppressive act against the freedom of journalistic work, through which the entity aims to conceal its crimes and violations against our Palestinian people from international public opinion. It is a fascist behavior that reflects the falsity of the entity’s claim to respect human rights' values and freedom of journalistic work to register itself as one of the worst suppressive regimes around the world.
The occupation’s restriction of the Associated Press work, and before it, the closure of the Al Jazeera office, the deliberate targeting of Palestinian journalists in Gaza and the West Bank, and the ban of international journalists from entering Gaza to observe the crimes committed by the criminal occupation army, require international condemnation and effective action from international press bodies to push this rogue entity to stop restricting and targeting journalists, press offices, and journalistic work in general.”
