Mustafa Barghouti, one of the most active popular leaders in Palestine, has become the target of an intense smear campaign, which many attribute to dissatisfaction within Fatah and its executive tool, the PA, with his actions and performance.

The Palestinian Authority's suspension of Al Jazeera has sparked criticism for silencing press freedom and aligning with Israeli actions.

After the decision to ban Al-Jazeera in "Israel," there are fears that the latter will increasingly target journalists working for the channel inside Gaza even further.

The Israeli occupation continues tirelessly to abuse Palestinian journalists and kill them in cold blood, to prevent the exposure of its criminal practices, violating the Geneva Convention of 1949 for the protection of civilians in military conflicts.

Calls for an independent investigation into the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, senior Al Jazeera journalist, grew amid global outrage.
