Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks.
Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. wapo.st/4yt6dHY

We call on Egyptian authorities to reverse the ruling, release the journalist immediately, and end their escalating campaign against independent journalism.

Scandal after scandal of journalists, politicians & others being targeted with spyware is followed by inaction. We at @pressfreedom are advocating for a reasonable & responsible policy of export controls. It's time. There is no reason to continue giving free rein to this madness.
CPJ and partners today called on the @EU_Commission to stop the export by European Union member states of dual-use #surveillance software to countries with records of spying on journalists.
The joint letter to @MarosSefcovic makes recommendations aimed at addressing loopholes in the EU’s Dual-Use Regulation, a 2021 law that controls the export of technology with both a civilian and military purpose.

1/ This isn't front page news, but it's important.
For years, Congress has said no taxpayer money to Egypt to help them repress free speech.
But Trump ignored Congress. And a disaster resulted for the Egyptian people.
Soon, maybe disaster for us.

One of the world's greatest and bravest journalists, full stop. Solidarity.
In an absolutely egregious escalation against press freedom, Egyptian journalist and @MadaMasr Editor-in-Chief @Linaattalah has been referred to trial on charges of establishing, managing, and operating a website without a license. Her trial is set to begin this Tuesday, Oct 27.

Less than a month after arresting the entire Matsadaash newsroom, the Egyptian govt has now filed baseless charges against the editor-in-chief of Mada Masr, continuing their largest crackdown in years.
This assault on the free press must end NOW. Journalism is not a crime.
CPJ condemns the referral of @MadaMasr Editor-in-Chief Lina Attalah to trial for operating a website without a license that Egyptian authorities have themselves refused to grant for years. Egypt is weaponizing its media law to punish independent journalism and intensify one of its worst crackdowns on the press in years, which began with the arrest of six Matsdaash journalists. It is long past time for Egypt to end this campaign and allow independent media to report freely.

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), an international New York-based press-freedom organisation, has warned that the Trump administration’s restrictions on the media are emboldening authoritarian governments around the world. sabcnews.com/sabcnews/journa… by @sherwiebp (via @SABCNews) || @CPJAmericas @CPJAfrica @pressfreedom

I welcome the Sakharov Prize awarded to the International Criminal Court.
For victims of the world's gravest crimes, justice means a voice.
The @IntlCrimCourt must be free to pursue its mission, independently, and without pressure or intimidation.
Europe stands firmly behind President Tomoko Akane, the Court's judges and officials, and their vital work for a world governed by rules.

Trump Pushes to Evict the Press From the White House nytimes.com/2026/10/20/us/po…
When being accountable to and transparent with the public boils down to official communication on social media….what a sad state. 👇👇👇

In a taped message, Christianne Amanpour tells viewers of her CNN International show “Amanpour” that she is leaving the network.
While she hewed fairly closely to her statement, she added this: “You know that I’ve always been fiercely independent, and I will continue to be that for you for as long as I am here and beyond. That’s especially important today as we face unprecedented pressures from all sides — political, financial, and also from the rising dangers in the field.”
Media blaming is the name of the game. No matter what, find a way to smear journalists.
PS I’ve met Putin many times and listened in on calls with him as well. I also speak Russian. Yes he is soft spoken, deliberate, and measured. So what? He’s still a killer. He still launched a barbaric invasion of Ukraine, that has produced tragic loss of life not seen on this scale in Europe since WWII.
