According to Yahoo News, the Qatari-funded broadcaster Al Jazeera has terminated 24 journalists and staff members operating in the Gaza Strip. This move follows a lawsuit that accuses the network of providing support to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). The report notes that the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) also removed 20 names from its database of journalists killed during the conflict after confirming their affiliations with these terrorist organizations. The CPJ has further criticized the practice of misrepresenting combatants as media workers, a development that highlights ongoing concerns regarding the neutrality and operational integrity of the Doha-based media outlet.
