Disengagement media intimidation

Reacting to the kidnapping of a sound technician from France-3 TV, the French government is threatening to withhold financial and humanitarian aid to the PA unless Mohamed Ouathi (pictured) is released unharmed. Ouathi was abducted on Sunday by unknown gunmen in Gaza City and hasn’t been heard from since. The Jerusalem Post also notes that three other journalists—two of whom work for Reuters—were stabbed in Khan Yunis.
