Israel accuses six Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza of being Hamas “agents”
The Israeli Army accused on Wednesday six journalists in Gaza of the Qatari network Al Jazeera, banned in Israel since last April, of being “agents of the military wing” of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, assuring that it has found documents in the enclave that would supposedly prove its relationship with the Palestinian militias.
“The security forces have revealed intelligence information and numerous documents found in the Gaza Strip that confirm the military affiliation of six journalists from Al Jazeera in Gaza with the terrorist organizations of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad,” the Army said in a statement, in which it quotes the journalists with names and surnames.
In the note, they indicate that the documents found on these six Gaza journalists include “staffing boards, lists of training courses for terrorists, telephone directories and terrorist salary documents.”
For Israel, these documents “constitute unequivocal proof that these individuals act as military agents of terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip” and are speakers of “pro-Hamas propaganda” especially in the northern Strip through Al Jazeera.
The Islamist organization Hamas, which governs in Gaza, responded with a statement in which it accused Israel of trying to “morally murder” and “demonize” Palestinian journalists with this type of ads, and called its accusation a “false narrative”.
Hamas assured that the Hebrew State has used lists of injured to present them as lists of members of the organization, as well as that it has manipulated “general data that are not important or have any relationship” with the organization.
Israel intensifies its attacks in Gaza
Israel’s accusations against Al Jazeera journalists come after Israeli troops have intensified their offensive in the northern Strip in the last three weeks, causing more than 700 deaths, thousands of wounded trapped and tens of thousands of displaced, according to UN data.
Yesterday, Al Jazeera denounced that Israel is preventing the “urgent medical evacuation” of two of its journalists who were seriously injured in Israeli attacks in the Strip two weeks ago.
The Qatari chain has been banned in Israel since last April, when the Government accused the chain of being “a damage to national security.”
Israel invades Al Jazeera’s office in the West Bank
On September 22, Israel also ordered the closure of the Qatari office in Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank, after breaking into the headquarters with soldiers where they seized and destroyed equipment.
During the office raid, the soldiers tore off a poster from journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was murdered by an Israeli soldier two years ago while covering a military raid in the occupied West Bank.
After the closure of the Ramalah office, the non-governmental organization Amnesty International accused the Israeli authorities of “another blatant attack on the right to freedom of expression” and of giving a “destroting blow” to press freedom.
Al Jazeera is one of the channels with the largest deployment and journalists in the Strip, where the Israeli Government does not allow access to the international press.

María Corina Machado kidnapped and forced to record videos before being released, says opposition
The Venezuela Command, the campaign team of opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia, denounced the “kidnapping” and subsequent release of political leader María Corina Machado after she led a protest in Caracas on the eve of the Venezuelan presidential inauguration.
In a post on X, the opposition team stated that the former lawmaker was “intercepted and knocked off the motorcycle she was traveling on” after leading a rally in the Chacao area of the Venezuelan capital.
“Gunshots were fired during the incident. She was forcibly detained. During her kidnapping, she was forced to record several videos, and then she was released,” the statement added, which was made public nearly two hours after Machado’s party, Vente Venezuela, reported that she had been “violently intercepted.”

Puerto Rico’s Governor Jenniffer González expressed her sorrow over Venezuela’s political crisis on Thursday and voiced her support for Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia, just one day before President Nicolás Maduro is set to take office following the controversial July elections.
“I think it is sad that the Venezuelan people have to suffer the consequences of a dictator who came to power by deceiving the people. I recognize Edmundo González for his leadership,” the governor stated during a press conference, coinciding with a day of protests by Venezuela’s opposition.
“The Venezuelan community has my full support, and, as we have done in the past, we will maintain that line of communication with whatever we can collaborate on,” assured the Puerto Rican head of government.
González Urrutia is currently in the Dominican Republic, the last announced stop on his American tour, where he was accompanied by Dominican President Luis Abinader and former Latin American presidents from the Spain and Americas Democratic Initiative (Grupo Idea).
