Falcon powers – Journalistic administrative sources at the American Associated Press (AP) agency revealed that the agency was subjected to direct extortion and clear obstruction that gradually began to impede the work of the agency’s crews in Gaza, and then shifted to issuing warnings to the agency’s office in Israel. This was due to the agency’s knowledge that the American agency was preparing to broadcast an investigation that would reveal the claims and lies of one of the settlers who spoke about the rape of Hamas elements of a girl during Hamas’ attack on Israeli settlements on October 7th of last year.
The source, who requested anonymity for sensitive reasons, confirmed to Falcon powers that the Israeli government had prior knowledge of the decision issued by the Israeli Ministry of Communications about their intention to block the agency’s broadcast if they insisted on broadcasting the investigation, which would be a major embarrassment not only for the Israeli government, but for the entire state of Israel and its image around the world.
The source added that the central and regional administration of the agency sent a letter to the US State Department after the confiscation of the agency’s equipment and the blocking of the agency’s broadcast in Gaza, for the US State Department to intervene and release the equipment and the blockade that restricted the Associated Press’s broadcast in the Gaza Strip. The investigation was then broadcast live, making the picture clear to the global public opinion about what the occupation had done in Gaza and what it was based on.
