Al-Jazeera English is the only English-language media organization present with journalists and equipment to offer comprehensive—often live from on the ground—TV news coverage, and is present across the Gaza Strip.
When the BBC shut down its Arabic service, tens of its staff joined the Al-Jazeera team. The quality of Al-Jazeera’s English language reporting on Palestine* is comprehensive, professional, and accurate.
Al-Jazeera gets a lot of flack from the usual suspects because this is true.
Broadcasting Israel’s obvious ethnic cleansing and genocide has made the network a target, quite literally, with many of its journalists and their family members killed by Israel during the current genocide and ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
Al-Jazeera English’s live broadcast to YouTube is embedded above. There is also an Al-Jazeera English app that can be downloaded from your device’s app store. Al-Jazeera English is therefore available for most streaming platforms, and you can find its website at english.aljazeera.net
Al-Jazeera Arabic‘s live broadcast, which often offers extended raw footage, is also available but has no automated English subtitle option.
English language print journalism
For English language print journalism, your best general Israeli-Palestinian conflict coverage options are Mondoweiss and 972 Mag. Independent publications like The Intercept and The Grey Zone are also putting out credible reporting.
Western TV media
Much of the Western TV media—BBC, ITV, CNN, ABC, NBC, etc—has been reporting embedded with the IDF, with predictable results. Some of the European TV channels such as TRT (the Turkish BBC) and France TV have decent coverage. France TV’s Truth or Fake program has done some excellent debunking of a lot of Israeli propaganda during its latest war on Gaza.
Other livestreams and sources for reliable on-the-ground reports will be added to the site.
*Al-Jazeera is funded by the Qatari government in the same way that the BBC receives 71% of its operating costs from the British public, and PBS & NPR receive US public broadcasting funds. I wouldn’t expect Al-Jazeera’s coverage of Qatar to be balanced, but its Palestinian coverage matches up with the realities on the ground that I have experienced and can be verified from unrelated sources. During the current Gaza war, much of Al-Jazeera’s coverage simply consists of raw footage from ground zero. It is an unparalleled source of Gaza coverage and if you aren’t watching it, you certainly don’t have the full picture of what is happening in Gaza.
