hardships during times of crisis, solidarity is the strongest defense against injustice. and we've been in gaza since 1991 doing life saving look. your generosity can provide value to support to those west effected because he met dulcie stella, your mercy, showing the brightest, gave mercy. now donate today as a 0 target to benjamin netanyahu says, and that's where we no longer broadcast from his way because it was his national security. the channel says that seems to not to respond to what's behind the band. and what does it mean for the world, gaza? this is inside story, the hello. welcome to the program on the hush him. how about the prime minister,

benjamin that tell you how has promised to take a 0 of it is well calling it to tell a channel. he accused the network of harmony as well as national security and actively but dissipating, the ex told whether 7th attack as a 0 says, the accusations oslander us and jeopardize the rights and safety of its employees, wells wide media. freedom groups are alarmed and one is why it is trying to sense that coverage or the warning gaza. but this isn't the 1st time is right, has targeted a 0 or is generalize. so how will this ben impact is coverage and what all the wide uh, implications for the both cost of plenty to discuss. but 1st, let's set a scene with this report. and so about said that i off the years of the rent the is really parliament passed and little paving the way for ouch is 0 to be banned. the whole numbers you know, lot talking about, but event i declare that the bill to prevent

a foreign broadcasting organization for the farming the state security will enter the book of laws for a full blown honor. the coupon, the 0 has covered israel's occupation of the palestinian territory since it starts with rude, competing in 1996. during the 6 months of war, garza prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been pushing this legislation in a social media post. he called l. g 0, a, tara channel, accusing it of participating in her mouth. the attacks on october the 7th, and promising to take it off and respond to the media network, condemned the statements as a quote dangerous ludicrous lie. it also said inflammatory slander would not to tow it still unless from continuing that bold, unprofessional coverage. journalist writes, organizations were quick to denounce for legislation, were extremely alone by this is yet another attempt by israel to sent. so the media to limit the information coming out about the role in garza and beyond.

and we do not want to say this low and knocks it or the us emphasized it supports the press freedom. much of what we know about what has happened in gaza is because of reporters where they are doing their jobs, including reporters from al jazeera in 2021 is really troops destroyed the networks bureau in the gaza strip, giving stuff just one hours notice to leave a year later is ready, snipers killed, prominent to unless to read a blacklist while she was reporting in jeanine in the occupied westbank. since october, the 7th, the list of algebra correspondents killed by israel's military is growing long ago . veronica pedroza al jazeera, the inside story. obviously this is a story about all fundamental interest here on this as we go about with our distinguished

panel, we're aiming to put it in the context of global human vice, the humanitarian imperative. and you politics. in the time of your, in decades, irene hon. view and special russell tool on the right to freedom of opinion and expression. here in doha is most social. now the policy is actually based on citizen joiners. so, so 55 months a will and gaza and london, daniel levy is the president of the us middle east project and the 4 piece to go shake. who's following the war close to welcome to the program. i mean, let me start by asking you about your reaction to these ready low a mean to ben, a 0, a network. but i'm alone. i'm alone because banning and international reputable media optic in the middle of the war as you say, without any obvious explanation, is, is in my was censorship papers, censorship and the whole evaluation. freedom of expression. but also i think,

broadly of access to information a. okay, most sore you have been in goes on to recently how important is that a 0 coverage of the people that a 0 has uh, you know, has been with us for many decades now. my generation and the generation before me enough to me, you know, part of our culture, a 0 is ingrained and it's, it, it, it, it basically helps more than our culture, our way of thinking how we looked to the outside world. it also a mold in the vision of the outside world towards what's happening in the our up in the most the world and especially in the us on palestine. and right now while i was in gaza as a 0, it was the main outlet for the people in the us to listen to the news, especially through the different radio frequencies. that's what i've given to the civilians that didn't have access to either television or the internet. mm hm. so

right now, heating about this news definitely i think um will, will hurt the people on the ground in the, especially those wanting to get the voices out. however, i am sure that you know the ingenuity of the people of was together with the zeros team on the ground. with all of us find the solution to tell the story how it is from causes and other places around the world. daniel's a g political context is very important. the lawyer is not in nothing, he has nothing you know, has had to use. why is a hit targeting as a 0? now the thing as well, i would suggest the full things are going on and of course future sometimes see a certain western media band in some countries, the west itself banding media for instance, from the russian media rapids. but what's going on right here is possible. this is paul old. the attempt to control message bobby's ready. this information campaign,

part of the fight. you don't have many media outlets in garza so no real costing 247 most west and outlets have been baited themselves in these riley is not the 1st time these rabbits tried to control the message in this way. bullying the old july media towering dogs. a 3 years ago, killing sharina blocked last 2 years ago. more than $100.00 journalist, the family of wild doctor killed. this is another step in that direction. secondly, i think it is a regional and jo, political attempt by prime minister not send yahoo to go off the top, the top not just l g 0 and the the attempt to reach to, i mean, if you remember when cut out was blue, painted, those countries talked about, i'll just 0 is one of the reasons for that, and i think it's nothing you always have to to say, hey, i'll just do is i'll come in and be, i don't think that resonates really today. i'll just 0. i'm the top to opposition is part of more of an hour consensus. it's not an outlier in that context. i also

don't think we can know, but this is happening just as taught. always putting a crucial mediation pro, negotiations for a ceasefire and a hostage release. nothing y'all has done everything to undermine those tools, bullying the top dogs or reconstruction building, pulled the rhetorical attack phone, cut off. he doesn't, won't be steal. and finally, i would say all of his domestic political management is part of speeding the extreme is of the these route. he has looked for distractions for the will, but he's not going well these right public tend to not be shown the images coming out of cause a witness came to a vote. in the contest it only 10 members voted to get no sign. this member of connected voted against only the 10 members from the parties representing the palestinian arab citizens visual, bought the human rights community, the association for civil rights to the ground and said, this is dangerous. this is an attack on freedom of speech and expression on our way

this little photos have passed away. alda 0 has been targeted with bites is to change the time it is killed. now it's the next step, which is basically trying to sign as, as is, what does the international law say about this? well, what is very good job and our civilians under international humanitarian, new, and c. gotcha. the number of john ridge, previous red fox conflicts in the last 30 years. it indicates the use of disproportionate this minute attacks, which of course then catch the bad. uh, well, i guess we've also seen some evidence, some suspicion that some german just particularly i just think. ready about the cost target civilians in the middle school and then now

comes an escalation. i'm just the is the floss shutting down by just the euro. independent. me yeah, now lives the only one operating international. i'll click operating on the web browser. so under international law, be seen by nations, attention violations, monitoring war crimes, violations often international does not have a lot of freedom of expression, which does not feeling people still have the right to access information that is gone. so i see it from not just on did you have a back from the human rights perspective, perspective, a slide thinking about signing of democratic body principles. and you know, you just read this one is the best thing to do when they want to travel far. shut

down, the median, shut down independence each month. so you and your neighbors. and the people here knowing does you what the watching the media coverage, we have to remind all of you the just that if you media out is operating in gaza, how closure was that coverage in shaping you perception to what is happening on the ground and how significant it is beyond it's extremely important. i mean does it gave a voice to those that didn't have a voice. you will have to also remember that inside is what i have. there was a very big gum out of the palestinian population who did not leave their homes in 19481967 who rely on a 0 and who we have many relatives data. the need a da 0 to ensure that their stories are being told. the people in the was, like i said, all the time they are on the radio was listening to a da 0 and the coverage from inside that occupied lands. and what is happening in

the west bank and then there was a just, this is extremely, extremely important. again, when it's kept, when it comes to shifting the mentality of not only the inside world in the most, the world but internationally. i think and frank stated in the top 12 or 3 tv broadcast stations. so right now the most heated place, the place that is changing history now is the occupied land in palestine and attempting another time to try and bind a da 0. there is just another um, another facade, it's another another way to show that is uh, the democratic nation of design estate. and it's, it's gets case for them supporting human rights. and freedom of speech again is another lie. and it's going to continue to work against them as they try to propagate their lives towards the world. or near you've spoken about the key

for reasons why nothing, you know, is taking that path. now, when you say that you are the only democracy in that part of the world, and then you decide to shut down and use out as when you know that it is absolutely going to be extremely difficult for you to build bridges with allies globally about this move is a, hey, confident or emboldened in a way or another that the international reaction is going to be new to business as usual. move forward. nobody gas, that's the key thing, isn't it? because without that western american guaranteed impunity, not only this measure against against alger 0 to, but you know, let's go broad. could israel be doing what it's doing to also studies 1000 plus deaths, perhaps many, many more. a 1213000 children, the devastation,

the use of salvation as a weapon. the for the poll, committing of the crime of genocide, ignoring because of the international court of justice on top of the course of decades of belligerent, illegal occupation, and a regime now documented and discussed. so that would be human rights, but by states themselves in the course of regina pod, i could any of that, let alone this late just measure be possible. if it were not for the absolute absence of accountability, guaranteed by the us. and i think when nothing y'all took this measure, he did so confident that the state department spokesman may appear in front of the podium and say, well, we worry about democracy in the role of the media, but they will not do anything we've just heard yet more of transfers from the us to as well. and this is a crucial point. how should we so months of demonstrations in israel prior to october, sense of people saying save is re democracy. the judicial reforms was nothing

yahoo smoked explained to be a color issue. we're doing, but they never talked about the occupation. they never talked about this about tech regime and here we have no one zine is member of congested raise that hand against this bill which isn't a sort of freedom of expression, freedom of the media and democracy. so it how unfortunate the democracy does not extend to the protection of palestinian rights. are we 9 to just killed in the war and gaza the international jo. notice bob's from entering does have they have to be embedded with these ready on the if they want to, to cover the story that a wave of attack surprises well scrutinize ation, sanctions, flats, intimidation discrimination against the joe noticed. yet you will assume that the international community of the un, i'm the americans in particular. we botanic nothing,

you know enough is enough. it's not happening. but i cannot say what the united states or any other member state. we've had understand it them. yeah, but i can tell you from the human rights which i'm an independent x and it becomes a by the us and we would be make very loud noise that we believe what is happening is not only the deprivation and violation of the right to freedom of expression, often competence of god, but also these ready people, these really people have a right to access diverse sources of information that is part of freedom of expression. and mr. nathan, yahoo, i'm domestic are based starting. and that is how or talk or see enters a democratic and that is extremely dangerous, i believe, is read as well as audio. any impact? very important thing. can i show community as a member states like the us, where as you know, you just freedom. it is a big issue,

a countryside that must stand behind it, because otherwise, we will know if in bbc would be expelled from another public situation. so we have to be extremely careful, i think the national community, what presidents all set here in these red most. so you're a back to the citizen genovese give us an idea about the challenges that joe noticed was go through on a daily basis just to cover a simple story for the viewers domestically and globally. i guess while i was in gaza, invoiced a shift and loss of hospital, like you said, i'm out i'm, i'm a, i became a citizen during the list reporting the news on different tv networks, radio stations, doing a lot of social media content on different platforms. and 9 tractors, with dozens of journalists and social media influence, and the old world kink in the most difficult and most dangerous areas,

i think in the world right now. and there is no safe place in the us. and if you are holding in your hand, any piece of technology, even if it's a switched off, it's can be tracked then you can be taught to get to it. so you have to understand that these journalists have families, have homestead, and many have lost their relatives, their loved ones, older well, they've lost their residence. they are living in tents. they're living on the pavement, step living inside, when the refugee schools and hospitals, in order to try to get an internet connection to get the media out. they have to have a sense and they have to go through the danger to dangerous areas on different elevations and different remote locations in order to access the signal and try to get the message out the video, the voice message, the text out to the world in in, in, in, in a very dangerous situation. many people, you know, every day, whenever we met in the morning, we never knew if you would,

we would see each other a tonight, similar to what happened. for example, with the son of what the door who we met in the morning and we, we, we prayed our, our, our farewells prayers on him. later during the evening. similar to many other journalists who lost family members on one day and the next day they came back and said look, whatever they start with us, we're going to continue. this is our strive, our struggle towards freedom, not only for the 1st time, but for the whole, the world. a danny, what, what is that to the hood trying to achieve? it's no secret. he doesn't want to have any peace deal. find a hit indo. huh. he's a big fan of having the announcements made elsewhere. number 2 has been extremely critical of the categories over the last few months. and you get to this critical phase of the negotiations to solve as it did above the hostages. and yet another warning to shut down,

i'll just see that which could compromise the safety of its employees. is it a fairly failed message to look outside is once again, but ultimately it has to be my way or no way i think is know that seem the fails and we have a very consistent ease, right? yeah. so it's not just against cut off against anyone who tries to be that 88 a contrary and voice to what he's riley's doing you see is really actions against south africa. he's ready, reactions against all those who take that stand. can see the pets give us the these rather, that supporters, including some states uh from, from the region you already trying to cancel the arrangements with american universities who benefit great the from the campuses they have in, in tops out like texas a and then so i think i, it's paul lee,

the to send that message. i don't think that message will be effective or successful, like the dots are, is committed to this mediation after the discontinue, despite the all the presentations on these ready siding, by the way, be use ready. most actually continues to go back and for meeting with the country, but american addiction mediators. and i imagine that we'll continue costs all by the way, has met with the families of hostages in cut our emissions in different capitals in the world. had some members of the families in dall, so i think that's all we'll continue. it's happened despite this. i think yes, the, the, these raise may help, but the message will not come out as much as a consequence of this action. i think we just heard from, from very powerful testimony of from month. so i think the truth will out whether that citizen journalism, whether that's the efforts that you without just 0 will i'm sure maintain in terms

of getting the story out. so i think when it comes to trying to hide from the world, what is going on that is not going to happen either. so i think these have to be plumbing just but as part of a quite sophisticated and transparent game, domestically and internationally that nothing yahoo is playing he's playing because he can get away with it already. as soon as the salt of the ball in cause of these rather government has passed more time regulations and how did not been for the compiler. just praise sometimes known to joe noticed operating on the ground. some of them holding the camera for the 1st time in their lives that he's not being for that cuz we would never have been able to see that. but then the less bombardment of the massive destruction in gaza. do you have any concerns that what we're seeing is just the same path, which is basically the right to deny the world from knowing exactly what is happening to the people in gaza? to oh yes, you might try to deny it, but i don't think we succeed. you know,

i'm working right now on, on a, on a report on journalism, united side and from doc i've seen around the world to get the same story. journalist, we stand up, they will continue to the work, even citizen journalists, we replace them. if uh, independent journalists are thrown out. so back fence work, we continue on the ground. the big question for me on my side, what accountability to that before you switch there, i think and can actually communicate, has a duty to ensure that these kinds of creatures international, humanitarian know, you can actually do mon right. single are indeed, and it's right, it's in because the account for those most. so is this something that is likely to do to the general it's operating and goes up from continuing the work of the see the house of progress ongoing, not the tool. it'll actually fuel them to even work further and be more strong. confirm on the mission. i actually feel bad for the,

for the is really during that us because i'm seeing that uh their, their country right now is, is values are being demolished and slowly, you know, without intentionally crumbling and, and honestly uh once, slowly the values that your country supposedly built on stuff to advocate then, then you need to be scared about the future for you and the generations to come. so i think that the boys in the isn't, isn't the court of the, is there any of these and this really public opinion as well and is really during that as i'm, do they want to see this, the beginning of the company of so called democracy and that's the slide daniel, if nothing, yeah. how decides to go ahead and ban alda 0? would it be a tiny point? unprecedented move. no, it's, it's raw, the old. the fat really you kill the messenger. that's the attempt to you.

quite literally a devastatingly, in the case of sherry, you know, the family of while and many others a but uh the buyers legal move via visa be out to 0. but no, the message will come out. and if israel doesn't want this kind of coverage, there's a match better, paul. then passing these rules is ro could cease to violate international law, could cease to commit crimes in garza could cease to dehumanize and treat palestinians in this way. and that's all to be going to be the way out of this month. so it makes a really important point. the walk, this is also possible is a phenomenon insight as well with the media inside israel has been since sold, but it is also self sensitive. during these past 6 months to an unprecedented degree, and if anyone who understands the language spend some time watching his reading media, it is a horror show,

a quite often of insight into genocide. the international court of justice is called out. i wait, if you look of the last of the 2017, there is a valid to expel a 0. jo. notice 2022 shooting a barclay is getting on. the strike cause the 5 minute way and do october 20. the 5th jenna realized that the sun and hums and another and the camera man. what kills is this a case for the ice se? and secondly, i didn't think they done. i understand that the international criminal is looking into getting some journalist as puppets investigations. so i can be a good fair if there was ticket scores, but i also think i just want to pick up on the point that some others have made. and that is what is due to media. insight is read government upon them and the process to go without much fault of its own legal system and its own values. prime minister who decides to bad, i'll click without much reason for political geopolitical purposes. don't forget to

put money relations. 2 how much will they think next about what can be done inside is read, encrypted system will arise when diverse courses so. so this is actually a very, it's a beginning for very warring stage and it's random. so political, nice on no need, no need to remind our view is globally that it's the media that really makes massive impacts and difference in the spots of the world. and this explains why they have to stick around and continue doing what they've been doing real hard on social month 1011. i really appreciate your insights and looking forward to talking to you in the near future. thank you. i'm thank you for watching. you can see the program again, any time by visiting our website. i just figured i'd love com for further discussion. go to our facebook page, that's facebook dot com forward slash a j inside study. you can also join the conversation on x and that is at

a j inside slowly from the hash model on the entire team here in doha bye for now the the number of elephants by the lose and he paused, has increased in the last several decades. officials attribute these to you gun does protection efforts, but there is another challenge. a big problem here is human wildlife conflict. ellison's are increasingly going into the villages in search of pasture and what we tried to trace the animal is using many means, for example, the fire of a pharmacy people's hobby. and they did the rice farms and cubes. several people, officials say they are aware of the distress cost and try to compensate those who have been affected. a c o news, they load balancing from the parallel processing. and so doing,

it's why we work with bill cuz who make it their business to know your business. yep. we all, we, you all business latest is wrote to you believe i guess is i live slightly on one of your this makes modern plates. the

business like just is free to you believe i guess is an ice fly on one of your just makes model leads the . ready the other there are more kyle, this is the news, our life from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes caused by you and the security council members to hold israel to account, talk to attacking the iranian concept, building in damascus. and special outcry and wide condemnation often is rarely strike kill 7 employees at the wells central kitchen charity. in garza, a funeral is held for the palestinian aid worker killed in the attacks. the group
