Israel kills family of Al Jazeera journalist after Blinken asks Qatar to censor coverage
Blinken Urged Qatar to Censor Al Jazeera Coverage of Gaza Genocide
On the same day that news broke about Blinken’s comments, an Al Jazeera journalist learned that an Israeli air raid had killed his entire family. Wael Dahdouh, bureau chief for Al Jazeera Arabic in Gaza, was on-air when he learned the news. He then went to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza — the only hospital still functioning in the area — to find that his wife, son and daughter were dead. His grandson was declared dead two hours later.
