Journalists detained in Tel Aviv on suspicion of working for Al Jazeera
Journalists from London-based news outlet Al-Araby Al-Jadeed were detained last night by Israeli authorities during protests calling for a deal to release captives last night, The Times of Israel reports.
Citing social media posts, the Israeli news outlet said the journalists were held on suspicion that they may be working for Al Jazeera, which was recently banned in Israel.
Israeli photojournalist Oren Ziv shared video and photos on X, which showed the journalists from the Qatari-owned outlet being questioned after authorities reportedly saw live footage of the Tel Aviv protests being broadcast on Al Jazeera.

Students walk out of university ceremony in protest at Jerry Seinfeld’s support for Israel
Dozens of students walked out of Duke University’s commencement ceremony as some chanted “free Palestine” to protest against the guest speaker, comedian Jerry Seinfeld, for supporting Israel throughout its war on Gaza, Reuters reports, citing videos of the event on social media.
The American actor visited Israel and has vocally supported it since October 7.
The walkout was the latest manifestation of pro-Palestine protests that have roiled US campuses as students call for universities to divest from arms suppliers and other companies profiting from the war and amnesty for students and faculty members who have been disciplined or fired for protesting.
Seinfeld used to be one of my favorite shows, how the idols have fallen.
Banning UK arms exports to Israel would strengthen Hamas: Cameron
Stopping British arms sales to Israel if it launches a ground assault on Rafah in the Gaza Strip would strengthen Hamas, United Kingdom Foreign Secretary David Cameron argues.
Israel ordered Palestinians to evacuate more of the southern city on Saturday in an indication it is pressing ahead with its plans for a full ground invasion.
Cameron said he did not support an operation in Rafah in the absence of a plan to protect hundreds of thousands of civilians sheltering in the southern city on the Egyptian border.
However, the UK is in a “completely different position” to the United States in terms of providing arms to Israel, he said, noting that less than 1 percent of Israel’s weapons come from the UK and they are controlled by a strict licensing system.
If it's less than 1%, how would it strengthen Hamas... It's more the surveillance flights the UK carries out above Gaza to help the IDF that confirms the UK's complicity in the genocide.
