Christiane Amanpour’s interview with me about my new book ‘This is Also a Love Story’ will air today on CNN International and PBS. (I was extremely nervous but hopefully it all makes sense!) Thanks so much to her and her team for having me on.

I barely recognized the journalist Ali al-Samoudi when I saw him this week. He had been imprisoned by Israel — without charge and without a trial — for a year, during which time he lost half his body weight.
He is one of 105 Palestinian journalists who have been imprisoned by Israel since October 7, 2023 — most without charge, according to @pressfreedom.

WILD: After Pegasus scandal @nayibbukele's 🇸🇻El Salvador went hunting for...more spyware.

Destination: 🇷🇴#Romania

And "better than Pegasus" spyware delivered by clicks or ads for $10.9 million.

Cut-out: A vendor to El Salvador's election system that also took $1.3m in US Embassy contracts.

Shell Companies: Dubai shell company & Israeli broker tied to sanctioned #Intellexa (they make Predator)

Price was too steep, but sources said officials were still pursuing the spyware into 2025.

Big Picture: seems to me like #ElSalvador's conclusion after getting caught abusing Pegasus was: time to upgrade.

I wonder who actually makes this unnamed spyware?

🇪🇺EU & Romanian authorities should absolutely dig into what is going on here.

An interview with Amal Khalil, the Lebanese journalist who was killed yesterday - first targeted by airstrikes, then rescuers prevented from reaching her by the Israeli military. https://t.co/dxLZoRKNUp

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

So much admiration for journalists in Lebanon, trying to cover the news and sometimes dying for it. Journalists should never be targets.

[Phil Robertson @Reaproy]

Looks like @IDF deliberately killed yet another journalist in #Lebanon. Yet another deliberate Israeli violation of international humanitarian law...

The US military reportedly committed a "double tap" strike in Iran. The "two strikes had hit the bridge around an hour apart, the second arriving while emergency responders were assisting the wounded," even though rescue workers are protected civilians. https://t.co/h39L3yy2gO
