Freed Israeli hostage sues US non-profit for platforming his ‘jailor’

An Israeli hostage rescued by Israel in a bloody raid on Nuseirat refugee camp in June is suing a Palestinian US nonprofit and its director, arguing they gave a platform to his "jailor", Fox News reports.

According to the report, Almog Meir Jan, 22, is suing The Palestine Chronicle and the tax-exempt non-profit that runs it, the People Media Project.

The lawyers argue that the organisation gave a platform to Abdallah Aljamal, a journalist and spokesperson for Gaza’s labour ministry. Israel and the rescued hostages accuse Aljamal of holding Israeli captives in his home.

“By providing this platform to Hamas Operative Aljamal and compensating Hamas Operative Aljamal for his propaganda, Defendants aided, abetted, and materially supported both Hamas Operative Aljamal and Hamas itself,” the plaintiff argues.

Aljamal was killed during Israel's raid on Nuseirat.
