Another Al-Jazeera Reporter Was a Hamas Terrorist; Al-Jazeera Should Be Designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization

  • The television network al-Sharif worked for, Al-Jazeera (Arabic), has always served as the official mouthpiece of the Muslim Brotherhood organization and its affiliates, including Hamas.

  • Al Jazeera is owned by the government of Qatar, the Gulf state that has long been endorsing the Muslim Brotherhood and providing shelter for the leaders of Hamas.

  • A press badge or vest is not -- and should not be -- a shield for terrorism.

  • Even the BBC, widely known for its bias against Israel, has acknowledged that al-Sharif worked for Hamas.

  • "Hamas's entire defense system relies on disguising its fighters—posing as health workers, journalists, or ordinary civilians. That's their weapon. They never admit that anyone killed was a Hamas member; it's always 'civilians,' as if Israel never kills Hamas fighters." — Brother Rachid, X, August 12, 2025.

  • When it comes to Qatar's Al-Jazeera, it should come as no surprise that another one of its employees has been exposed as an Islamist terrorist.

  • The IDF has disclosed intelligence information and countless documents found in Gaza confirming the military affiliation of six Al-Jazeera journalists with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.... The documents provide unequivocal proof... of the integration of Hamas terrorists within Qatar's Al- Jazeera media network.

  • Al-Jazeera (Arabic) is not -- and never was -- a real news organization. Since its founding, the television network has been promoting radical Islam and glorifying terrorism against Israel.

  • As such, Al-Jazeera, like the Muslim Brotherhood, should be designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Anas al-Sharif, the Al-Jazeera (Arabic) "journalist" who was killed by the IDF in Gaza this week, never concealed his affiliation with Hamas. Al-Sharif was recruited by Hamas on December 3, 2013, and served as the commander of a rocket-launch squad. A press badge or vest is not -- and should not be -- a shield for terrorism. Al-Jazeera (Arabic) is not -- and never was -- a real news organization. Since its founding, it has been promoting radical Islam and glorifying terrorism against Israel.

Anas al-Sharif, the Palestinian "journalist" who was killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) this week, never concealed his affiliation with the Iran-backed Hamas terror group. Before and after his death, photos of al-Sharif continually socializing with top Hamas leaders appeared on social media platforms. Al-Sharif was also known for his public support for terrorism against Israel.
