Reversed: Israeli officials seized equipment from the Associated Press and shut down its long-standing video feed of northern Gaza on Tuesday, saying the wire service ran afoul of a new foreign press law that the Israeli government used to ban Al Jazeera. The move was quickly denounced by free press advocates, who portrayed it as an escalation of an effort to restrict coverage of the Israel-Hamas war. But hours later — amid mounting criticism and direct entreaties from the White House — Israeli officials seemed to reverse course. Israel’s Minister of Communications Shlomo Karhi said in a statement that the country’s defense ministry wanted to look into the security risk posed by the broadcasts, and in the meantime, Karhi has “ordered to cancel the operation and return the equipment.”
It was not clear if this also meant AP could resume its live feed; spokespeople for AP and Karhi did not immediately return the Post’s inquiries. --Washington Post I wouldn't be surprised if the US reacted so quickly to pressure Israel to reverse it because Matt Lee from the AP would have savaged their poor State Dept. spox trying to defend it.

Admin, Flying Monkeys, can you please delete all the 100% off-topic personal attacks made by jill and Dracula in this thread. It’s easy to spot; the posts that are pure off-topic harassment. It’s no surprise whose return heralded this in. I won’t be tolerating it again, this time around. It seem unnecessary to escalate this report further since you have recognized the problem. Thank you.

I’m not sure I understand what was wrong with the original AP article. They explain why they think Hamas may have attacked given the Abraham Accords may threaten Hamas’ support from Arab countries. Yes, Hamas wants to wipe Israel off the map and murder virtually all the Jews, as we saw them do on Oct 7th in a trial run of a Hamas sacking of Israel, but there is also probably some method to their madness. Clearly they were hoping for an all out war with Israel between them, Hezbollah, and Iran. It didn’t happen because the U.S. made it clear to Iran and Hezbollah if they strike the US may unleash a carrier strike group on them. So Hamas failed from the beginning and like Hitler in his bunker in April 1945, they await their doom.

You are one of the worst trolls (aside from your doxxing and stalking) around here.

If, as I posted in the op, you Google “Hamas ties to Associated Press” you see the original article’s title and intro - the part I keep posting the screenshot of. It’s completely different from the rewrite which is what you see after you click the link.
