At the Columbia Journalism School panel, Drop Site’s Sharif Kouddous شريف عبد القدوس said Western media enable Israel’s killing of Palestinian journalists by echoing its framing. Israel went from calling deaths “mistakes,” to fabricating ties with resistance forces, to openly hunting reporters – with outlets like Reuters continuing to front-load Israeli claims.

🎥 Drop Site’s Sharif Abdel Kouddous reflects on Egypt’s extraordinary World Cup run, from coach Hossam Hassan raising the Palestinian flag to a mesmerizing goal that was controversially disallowed, and the VAR decisions that ended Egypt’s upset bid against Argentina. Abdullah Al-Arian, a professor of history at Georgetown University in Qatar and editor of Football in the Middle East, says the match captured a wider collapse of faith in FIFA, with the tournament increasingly seen as engineered for its biggest teams while the organization stonewalls calls to suspend Israel despite the destruction of Gaza’s sporting infrastructure and the killing of more than 500 Palestinian footballers. After Egypt’s loss, journalist عبد القادر صباح in Gaza told Sharif: “We live in an unjust world, even in football.” Sharif Kouddous شريف عبد القدوس | Drop Site

Drop Site’s Sharif Abdel Kouddous detailed how Forensic Architecture and Earshot carried out a nearly year-long probe, published this week by Drop Site, into what the Red Crescent called “one of the darkest moments of the war”: the March 23, 2025 Tal al-Sultan massacre in southern Gaza. Israeli forces ambushed an ambulance, then a five-vehicle rescue convoy, killing 15 aid workers and burying them in a mass grave. Using video, survivor testimony, 3D modeling and echolocation, investigators show an initial barrage of roughly 800 rounds before soldiers moved in and executed medics at point-blank range.

⭕️ Sharif Abdel Kouddous calls claims that the Rafah crossing has meaningfully reopened a political mirage. What’s now being celebrated as an “opening,” including by the European Union, Sharif says, is a tightly controlled trickle. On the first day, only 5 critically ill Palestinians were allowed to leave Gaza, with 2 companions each, despite more than 20,000 people, including 4,500 children, urgently needing medical care. Just 12 Palestinians, mostly women and children, were allowed back in. Returnees described hours-long interrogations, handcuffing, blindfolding, confiscation of belongings, humiliation, and threats after being transferred by the Israel-backed Abu Shebab militia to Israeli checkpoints.

WATCH | Israel Cuts Gaza’s Internet—Ryan Grim and Sharif Abdel Kouddous on the Deliberate Blackout Ryan speaks with Drop Site’s Middle East Editor Sharif Abdel Kouddous about Israel’s total shutdown of internet and telecommunications across the Gaza Strip. After months of targeting communications infrastructure, Israeli forces have now severed Gaza’s last fiber lines—cutting off Palestinians from emergency services, aid coordination, and warnings of incoming strikes. Sharif makes clear this was no accident—Netanyahu said last month that Gaza would be “completely blacked out,” and Israeli forces have since blocked all repair and backup efforts. “I haven’t been able to reach any of our reporters,” Sharif told Ryan, noting the blackout as part of a broader strategy to isolate and destabilize Gaza amid continued forced displacement and starvation. Watch the full discussion for what this means for journalism, emergency response, and survival under siege—link in reply. Ryan Grim | Sharif Kouddous شريف عبد القدوس

At a Columbia Journalism School panel on press freedom in Gaza, moderator Azmat Khan revealed CNN editors barred one of their reporters from joining the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla. Drop Site’s Sharif Kouddous شريف عبد القدوس explained the risks and reasoning behind sending our editor Alex Colston (Alex Colston), who has been on board for four weeks and is now 4–5 days from Gaza. Sharif said the real question is why newsrooms wouldn’t send reporters: “Dozens of boats with parliamentarians and mayors on board—it’s newsworthy. If you don’t have a reporter on the boat, that’s a political decision, not a news decision.”

🔴 “The Genocide Hasn’t Stopped” Sharif Abdel Kouddous opened the Drop Site Livestream with a quick recap of the latest developments from the region. “The genocide in Gaza is continuing,” Sharif notes. “It has slowed with the so-called ceasefire, but it has not stopped” — airstrikes, shelling, and shootings in Gaza continue daily. Famine and blockades persist, while “four Israeli captive bodies remain in the rubble … alongside thousands of Palestinians.” In the West Bank, settler and army violence has surged: “Over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023, including 200 children.” And the UN logged 260 settler attacks in October — the highest in any month on record.

Drop Site’s Sharif Kouddous recaps “another brutal weekend” in Gaza, with Israeli airstrikes and shelling killing at least 17 Palestinians, including 11 on Sunday alone. He noted media coverage has fallen to its lowest level in over two and a half years, even as more than 600 Palestinians have been killed since the so-called ceasefire began. All this comes as Trump convenes a “Board of Peace” meeting in Washington on Thursday, touting $5 billion in pledges for Gaza and a troop deployment, while demanding Hamas “fully and immediately” disarm.

It needs to be dismantled and replaced because of what’s happened.” Drop Site’s Sharif Kouddous شريف عبد القدوس says journalism in and about Palestine embodies resistance to “the most naked form of imperialist, capitalist, colonial power,” with Palestine as its last undefeated front. He argues media institutions have become so corrupted and servile to power they must be rejected on principle.
