Gaza photographer says he buried hostage-beating footage to shield perpetrators amid Hamas media control

Gaza photojournalist Motaz Azaiza, who has met Mayor Mamdani and earned TIME100 recognition, says he filmed Oct. 7, 2023 scenes of Israeli hostages in Gaza but did not publish them and later buried footage to protect the people shown. He also alleges Hamas runs a centralized WhatsApp group that coordinates Gaza media and punishes critics, prompting many journalists to flee or censor coverage. The interview outlines the coercive media environment in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war and Azaiza’s personal backlash for criticizing Hamas, including his current residence in Qatar.

Court blocks DHS plan to cap stays for foreign students and journalists

A Boston federal judge blocked the DHS from enforcing a rule that would cap how long foreign students (F visas) and journalists (I visas) may stay in the United States—four years for students and up to 240 days for journalists—finding the rule rested on weak rationales and failed to consider less burdensome alternatives, thereby preserving the long-standing duration-of-status system and preventing potential hundreds of millions in higher-education costs and enrollment declines at major universities.

DHS Uses Secret Customs Tool to Seize Journalists’ Data Without Court Oversight

DHS Uses Secret Customs Tool to Seize Journalists’ Data Without Court Oversight

The Department of Homeland Security has been using a little-known 19 USC 1509 administrative summons—intended for customs matters—to demand data from tech platforms about journalists, activists, and nonprofits without judicial review. The approach has drawn sharp criticism from press groups and privacy advocates after cases like six months of journalist Georgia Fort’s phone records and attempted YouTube data for Don Lemon, with courts sometimes blocking the requests or the government withdrawing them. The tactic can be kept secret and places the burden on users and companies to challenge, raising concerns about First Amendment rights and government overreach.

A Year On, Gaza Hospital Strikes That Killed Journalists Still Ask for Answers

A year after Israeli strikes on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital killed journalists and others, families and press groups say there has been little accountability or public explanation. The incident is part of a wider pattern that has claimed the lives of many reporters in Gaza, with organizations like CPJ reporting hundreds of journalist fatalities since the conflict began. Israel has argued Hamas was using the hospital, while investigations into the strike and related attacks remain limited, prompting renewed calls for transparent investigations and accountability.

Inside the Nasser Hospital strike: Mariam Abu Dagga and the shadow of war crimes

The Independent reconstructs the 25 August 2025 double-tap strike on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital that killed Mariam Abu Dagga and multiple journalists and first responders. Based on witness testimony, whistleblowers and independent analyses, it argues the second blast targeted civilians and press in a way that could constitute war crimes, while Israel maintains it hit a Hamas camera; Reuters corroborated the camera from journalist feeds. UN experts and CPJ have highlighted risks to journalists in Gaza, and there has been no accountability to date.
