Qatar’s state-owned Al-Jazeera television network has once again demonstrated why its Arabic-language news coverage deserves particularly close scrutiny. Al-Jazeera has broadcast previously unseen footage, recordings, and documents showing senior Hamas military commanders preparing for the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel.
Instead of using this material to expose the criminal nature of Hamas’s activities, Al-Jazeera has presented it as an exclusive glimpse into the lives of the organization’s senior commanders. The Hamas officials featured in Al-Jazeera’s footage are portrayed as military leaders, strategists, and figures worthy of admiration.
