Hamas also praised Al Jazeera journalist Guevara Al-Budairi, who was briefly detained in an Israeli prison this week after being arrested for participating in a demonstration that turned violent.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas\u2019s embrace of Al Jazeera is likely to fuel long-standing accusations that the network is biased, anti-Israel, and wholly controlled by the Qatari government, which is closely allied with Hamas\u2019s financial backer, Iran. Lawmakers in the United States have repeatedly attempted to force Al Jazeera into registering with the American government as a foreign agent. Al Jazeera maintains it has editorial independence, though its association with Hamas could challenge the credibility of these claims.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A delegation from the [Hamas movement] phoned Al Jazeera correspondent in Jerusalem, Guevara Al-Budairi, upon her release from occupation [Israeli] prisons,&#8221; the report on Hamas\u2019s website states. Hamas leaders &#8220;raised the role of Al-Budairi in covering events at occupied Jerusalem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hamas leaders also &#8220;phoned the director of Al Jazeera&#8217;s [Palestinian office], Walid Al-Omari, [to praise] him and his professional coverage during the battle of the \u2018Sword of Jerusalem,\u2019&#8221; which is how the jihadist terrorist groups are referring to their most recent conflict with Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Al Jazeera\u2019s &#8220;management praised the visit of the Hamas delegation, stressing that it will remain a title of high professionalism in its coverage of events in Palestine,&#8221; according to Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas officials are engaged in a media tour and will visit media institutions in the Gaza Strip, according to another <a href=\"https:\/\/hamas.ps\/ar\/post\/13380\/\u062d\u0645\u0627\u0633-\u062a\u0634\u0631\u0639-\u0628\u062d\u0645\u0644\u0629-\u0632\u064a\u0627\u0631\u0627\u062a-\u0644\u0644\u0645\u0624\u0633\u0633\u0627\u062a-\u0627\u0644\u0625\u0639\u0644\u0627\u0645\u064a\u0629-\u0628\u063a\u0632\u0629\">report<\/a> on its website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Iranian-backed Hamas terror group presented an award this week to the Al Jazeera news network for what the terror group described as the outlet\u2019s &#8220;great professionalism&#8221; in its coverage &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2279901,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hamas2-scaled-e1622045816116.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"Hamas Awards Al Jazeera for \u2018Great\u2019 Coverage of Latest War With Israel","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-559505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hamas2-scaled-e1622045816116.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"Hamas Awards Al Jazeera for \u2018Great\u2019 Coverage of Latest War With Israel","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=559505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559505\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2279901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=559505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=559505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
