BBC-dropped documentary Gaza: Doctors Under Attack wins Bafta TV Award.
In his acceptance speech, Ben De Pear called out the broadcaster, which initially commissioned the documentary before shelving it, citing that airing it would create a “perception of partiality”
Anas and Mohamed are killed! In one strike their bodies were shattered and became lifeless!
Anas’s last post was about the occupation’s intention to occupy Gaza, just 2 hours ago. And now he is no more among us.
He reported day and night, hungry, thirsty and tired but Never gave up!
He stayed resilient until they targeted him like all our other colleagues and friends while the entire world is watching!
Rest in peace Anas and Mohamed, you’re now in a place where there is justice, food, water and calm.
Al Jazeera Media Network condemns the targeted assassination of its correspondents Anas Al Sharif and Mohammeel Qraiqea, along with photographers Ibrahim Al Thaher, and Mohamed Nofal, by Israeli forces.

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.
I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.
I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.
I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.
I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.
I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.
O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.
Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.
يوم عاشوراء المعظم المكرم
قد علم كل اناس مشربهم ووجهتهم
اللهم اجعل وجهتنا في جميع الامور اليك
واكشف كروب الامة بجاه حبيب الامة صلى الله عليه وآله وصحبه وسلم.
I have joined other independent MPs in writing to the Foreign Secretary, reminding him of the government's obligations under international law.
That involves dropping any legal challenge over the ICC's application for an arrest warrant of Israeli's PM Benjamin Netanyahu.
What qualifications does the CEO of @PureGym have to be on a Question Time panel speaking on Israel's genocidal campaign on Palestine?
And @PureGym, I'm cancelling my membership.
If I can control it, my money will not be going to businesses supporting Israel's crimes.
When your heart is heavy with grief, and you begin to plead for forgiveness, remember that Ramadan begins with mercy.
Have mercy on yourself and be satisfied with the fact that you are conscious enough of your sins to seek forgiveness.
Ramadan Mubarak 🤍

Every Muslim in power has blood on their hands and I hope Allah SWT humiliates them in this world and the next, and that they're raised on yawmul qiyammah with their masters
