Qatari news network Al Jazeera is stridently denying any link to Gaza-based journalist Abdallah Aljamal, amid unverified rumors that hostage Noa Argamani had been held at his home in central Gaza’s Nuseirat.

According to various rumors, some of which have been picked up by Hebrew-language media with varying levels of credulity, Argamani was held at the home of Dr. Ahmed Aljamal and his son Abdallah. They also claim that Abdallah is an employee of Al-Jazeera.

      The bias is strong in the case of TOI. This is extreme bordering on !nottheonion@lemmy.world territory.

      And still MBFC rates them center right rather than far right and the factuality “mixed” rather than “low” or “very low”.
