YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPalestinian journalist Hassan Eslayeh was assassinated by Israeli forces on May 13 while recovering in a hospital bed at Nasser Hospital—weeks after surviving a previous strike that left him severely wounded. On the Drop Site News livestream, Jeremy Scahill, Sharif Abdel Kouddous, and Abubaker Abed reflect on the deliberate targeting of Eslayeh and the Western media’s complicity.
Sharif details how the Israeli military admitted it was targeting Eslayeh, citing incitement campaigns led by Zionist groups like Honest Reporting. Major outlets like CNN, AP, and Reuters cut ties with him—decisions that, Sharif argues, helped legitimize his killing.
Abubaker Abed speaks to the loss of one of Gaza’s most beloved local journalists: “There was always a deliberate attempt to kill Hassan.”
Jeremy Scahill highlights how Western media not only abandoned journalists like Eslayeh—but helped create the conditions for their erasure: “This was a real crime against the public interest.”
Watch the full conversation on Israel’s war on Palestinian journalists, amid global silence, media cowardice, and impunity.
