VIDEO: Journalist Motaz Azaiza's X account suspended for exposing Israeli war crimes in Gaza

Palestinian journalist Motaz Azaiza's X account was suspended Monday, allegedly on the orders of Elon Musk, the owner of the microblogging website, for exposing how Israeli carpet-bombing is slaughtering innocent civilian Palestinians, especially children, which is a war crime.

Following Israel's attack on Gaza, Palestinian journalist Motaz Azaiza has been updating readers on the situation in real time.

On the social media site X, a user by the name of Jalal published a video of the Palestinian journalist, noting that he had posted it two hours earlier while attempting to save children who had been the victims of Israel's bombing.

The disabling of social media accounts belonging to Palestinian journalists was also denounced by Fatima Bhutto. She claimed that although Motaz Azaiza is an exceptional journalist, it is really unsettling that people are still putting restrictions on him.

For sharing a piece about the Gaza war, acclaimed American journalist Azmat Khan, who won the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for International Investigative Reporting, had his account previously disabled by Instagram.

Khan, a journalist from the US, claimed that after publishing about the Gaza War on the social media site Instagram, her account was shadow-banned, or suspended without her knowledge.

Khan said in a post on the social media platform X that other of her colleagues' and journalists' social media accounts were also being shadow-banned.

She further stated that this was an unprecedented assault on trustworthy reporting and information freedom.
