“My family is under threat!”

Journalist Maha Hussaini won the International Women’s Media Foundation’s Courage in Journalism Award 2024.

Here’s what she has to say.

I wouldn't have won The International Women's Media Foundation's Courage in Journalism Award 2024 this June if I hadn’t been on the ground reporting events and exposing Israeli flagrant violations under perilous conditions, all while being systematically attacked by supporters of the perpetrators.

Winning a prize for “courage” means being subjected to attacks and choosing to continue your work regardless. However, I regret to say that the very organization that recognized these perilous conditions and awarded me the prize succumbed to pressure and chose to act contrary to courage; they rescinded the award in a decision that would put my life at risk.

In fact, I’m very glad that both my winning the award and its withdrawal have starkly demonstrated the systematic physical and moral attacks Palestinian journalists endure throughout their careers. These threats and character assassinations aim only to silence us and perpetuate the longstanding bias in global media. I have never worked to receive awards, nor have I ever submitted an application to nominate myself. I didn't choose journalism as a profession; I became a journalist after recognizing the extent to which the world overlooks Palestinians’ suffering and opts to conform to Israeli pressures.

Every year, Palestinian journalists are recognized with international awards for their brave reporting under the Israeli occupation and relentless attacks. These accolades honor their courage and dedication to uncovering the truth.

However, each announcement of an award to a Palestinian journalist is systematically followed by extensive smearing campaigns and intense pressure on the awarding organizations from supporters of the Israeli occupation and the Zionist lobby. While some organizations uphold their principles and maintain their decision to honor these journalists, others, regrettably, cave to the pressure and withdraw the prizes.

Instead of recognizing the threats they face and contributing to their protection, a decision to withdraw a prize from a Palestinian journalist in Gaza—where over 150 journalists have been killed by the ongoing Israeli genocide—can further endanger them and increase their risk of targeting.

I have no regrets about any posts or reasons that led to the rescinding of this award, and I will not stop expressing my views. Before being a journalist, I am a Palestinian living under military occupation, a strangling blockade, and genocide in Gaza.

My grandparents were expelled from Jerusalem upon the creation of the state of Israel, and I have been expelled from my home in Gaza during this genocide.

If winning a prize entails enduring and witnessing war crimes while remaining silent, I am not honored to receive any prizes. I will always be objective in my reporting, but I can never be neutral; I will always point out the perpetrators and stand in solidarity with the victims. This is what journalism is truly about.

Retired Israeli General Yisrael Ziv claims that tensions between the army and Netanyahu have reached their highest levels.

[RT]

At first, it was said that Al-Sanwar was in Al-Shifa Hospital. Then Israel remembered that he was born in Khan Yunis and said that he was there, specifically in its tunnels. Netanyahu said that the army is surrounding Sinwar's house, and Gallant said that Sinwar hears the sound of tanks. After that, it was said that he was in Rafah.

A journalist on Channel 14 says, “Al-Sanwar is under the sea. From a building close to the sea, a tunnel descends under the sea floor, in my opinion, in the central area of ​​the Gaza Strip. Hamas has demonstrated the ability to build tunnels near the beach and exit them into the sea.”

Will Israel soon arrest fish from the sea as well
