From what i have read, it was a freelancer dude who wrote 1 article for Al Jazeera, 5+ years ago. I dont know why there is this need to make everything so biased/black and white.

AbdullahAl Jamal worked for Al Jazeera and published almost daily articles in English in the "Palestine Chronicle" since the beginning of the war. From the linked article.

Meanwhile Al Jazeera says that the guy only contributed on a single op-ed in 2019 and that's the extent of it. Here is an archive link to their response https://archive.is/EDOCN. Not only that, but ynet seems to have cut out the part where Al Jazeera says that the guy contributed only on an op-ed in 2019.

Checking an archive from the 9th of June of Al Jazeera's website seems to confirm this information: https://archive.is/RypQP

So, even if this guy had kidnapped/held a hostage, I don't see the connection to Al Jazeera. Certainly not the connection that this article is trying to paint here. And don't forget that the IDF hasn't even confirmed if this guy even held any hostages.

I personally call bullshit. Either that or ynet are too incompetent to prove their claims that this guy wrote for Al Jazeera every day.

Or the title has been written like that on purpose to confuse people and conflate Al Jazeera with whatever this guy was writing god knows where else.
