Amid social media restrictions, Palestinian journalists seek to amplify their reporting
The article discusses the challenges Palestinian journalists face due to social media restrictions, particularly on platforms like Meta, Facebook, and Instagram. It traces the issue back to the 1948 Nakba and highlights how modern platforms hinder Palestinian self-determination and statehood advocacy. The article cites examples of censorship, such as during the Sheikh Jarrah protests, and the misinterpretation of the hashtag “#AlAqsa”. Experts like Amjad Qawasmi and Dr. Mohammad Abu Alrob offer insights into how journalists navigate these restrictions, advising on narrative storytelling and careful word choice to avoid triggering bans. The piece also covers the work of 7amleh Centre and its director, Nadim Nashif, in documenting digital rights violations and assisting with account recovery, as well as the launch of 7or to document violations. Despite ongoing challenges, Palestinian journalists continue to fight for their digital rights and freedom of expression.

A Sleepless Night
The article narrates the harrowing experience of Mais Abu Ghosh, a Palestinian university student, who was arrested by the Israeli army from her home in Qalandia refugee camp. The story details the intense interrogation and torture Mais endured during her detention. She was subjected to strip searches, threats, and various forms of physical and psychological torture, including being forced into painful positions and being mocked by soldiers. The ordeal was part of a 'test' related to the Palestinian cause, a cause deeply ingrained in Mais's identity. Despite the brutal treatment, Mais remained resilient, viewing the torture as a testament to her commitment to her homeland. The article concludes with Mais being transferred to Damon Prison after 30 days of interrogation, leaving behind a part of herself but continuing to face the challenges ahead.

The sentiment towards the EU is largely negative, with criticisms of unfair quota allocations, while the overall tone is positive about the newfound autonomy for the UK's fishing industry.
