AP Raised Concerns About Hamas-Linked Freelancer Years Before October 7

Times of Israel


Newly uncovered documents reveal that the Associated Press (AP) had internal doubts about the reliability of Gaza-based freelance journalist Hassan Eslaiah long before the October 7 Hamas terror attack. Despite those concerns, Eslaiah continued contributing to AP coverage, even appearing in footage taken alongside Hamas terrorists during the assault. The article outlines internal AP communications expressing unease with Eslaiah’s ties to Hamas and raises broader questions about media accountability and vetting procedures in conflict zones.
