Morocco’s justice minister faces growing backlash over a crackdown on journalist Hamid Elmahdaouy, seen as part of a wider assault on press freedom and dissent.

In an exclusive interview with Al-Estiklal, Tahseen al-Astal, the head of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, highlighted the perilous circumstances faced by journalists in Gaza amidst the Israeli Occupation's deliberate targeting and assured that all Israeli leaders responsible for these crimes will face justice.

Dr. Ismail al-Thawabta, Director General of the Government Media Office in Gaza, told Al-Estiklal that Palestinian media, in its defense against the Israeli occupation, has decisively won the battle for truth, proving once again that the truth always prevails.

France has faced a crucial test in upholding its motto of “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” impartially, especially amid the Israeli crimes in Palestine and the public reactions they have sparked—a test in which it has evidently fallen short.

The Iranian regime is intensifying its control over journalists and political activists who criticize its mismanagement, repression of freedoms, and security agencies' misconduct.
