The Associated Press’ top editor, Sally Buzbee, is calling for an independent investigation into the Israeli airstrike that targeted and destroyed a Gaza City building housing the AP, broadcaster Al-Jazeera and other media.

Sally Buzbee, AP’s executive editor, said the Israeli government has yet to provide clear evidence supporting its attack, which leveled the 12-story al-Jalaa tower.

“We’re in the middle of fighting,” Conricus said Sunday. “That’s in process and I’m sure in due time that information will be presented.”Buzbee said the AP has had offices in al-Jalaa tower for 15 years and never was informed or had any indication that Hamas might be in the building. She said the facts must be laid out.

“We think it’s appropriate at this point for there to be an independent look at what happened yesterday — an independent investigation,” she added. Buzbee said the AP journalists were “rattled” after the airstrike but are doing fine and reporting the news. She expressed concern about the impact on news coverage.

A year ago since last tweet! “israeli’s” are continuing with their crimes.

Tom4798 Based on past history can easily predict that nothing will come of this, and the story will be quashed by influential people.

Israel committed war crime. It was Palestine, will be Palestine. Free,free-palestane.

josephkrauss the press calls for an independent investigation. no one cares about your bias

Autocrats playbook , silence the media. Experienced investigative journalist worked in that building, you can’t tell me Hamas had their headquarters there without being discovered by AP News or Aljezeera. I call bullshit.

He told us who he was. 'I am a Zionist. You don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist.' 2007 'I will always stand with and for a secure, democratic Jewish State of Israel.' 2020 'The President reaffirmed his strong support for Israel’s right to defend itself.' 2021 He's Joe Biden.

It's a warcrime definitely. if u are not able to take action Against them quickly then they will surely destroy everything in near future. freepalastine

For anyone who wants to really know what is happening between Israel and Hamas there is a balanced unbiased review of the situation from Retired British Army colonel Richard Kemp through Sky News (8 min):

This is sounding like a low level capo trying to sound more important to reach a better plea agreement with the FBI. “Yeah well yous should check out Freddy No Nose; he took a shot at me the othah day. Said he was aiming at the other guy but COME ON!”

Hiii

Israel action is justified,every nation has right of self defence.

ashtonpittman Good. Hope you saw full video of what happened instead of the truncated video being shown.

People know the AP CEO lied about not being notified to evacuate.

GovJVentura Is she calling for an independent investigation into how her organization shacked up with Hamas - and apparently paid them rent? That would seem to be the bigger story here, and news organization literally funding terrorists

Who else was in the building? Dont try to play innocent. And and please tell me the leading news agency didn't know... lol

The reality is that for years Israel has implemented apartheid and is seeking the genocide of a nation, which them no better than the Germans from the second WW, this is supported by the US with money and political might

You should first start investigation inside . Feel so sorry for all damages done on both side, but the first thing is for to start investigation from inside out, by Independent experts. If you are serious, consider to watch your associates in Ethiopia, too.

Hey care to comment? Fuckin hacks

People MUST open their eyes, use their brain, do their research, and then decide what to do & whom to support. We must not allow this violence to continue. We can not let the Gaza children down anymore... SavePalestine SaveSheikhJarraj SaveGaza GenocideinGaza GazaUnderAttak

I support Israel no matter what.

Make the zionists pay for it. Atleast in damages

They want their judgment day: Allah's Messenger said, 'The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. 'O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.'

I wonder who would be considered 'independent' ?

They were warned.

No one can report on bad embattlement !

I can summarize the findings and save a ton of money. Terrorist attacked a sovereign nation and received an appropriate response. Lesson to be learned; reap what you sow.

You “journalists” were covering for Hamas, or you didn’t know you shared a building with them. Either way it’s damning for the AP.

Attacks against news media constitute war crimes.

SOSColombiaEnDictadura

LOL to you guys. THEY BURNED YOUR HOUSE DOWN... And you don't even have the balls to CRITICIZE them. Free press just died in those rumbles.

I would level the whole city, if you sent a 1000 missiles at my country.

I'm independent of you. YES, it REALLY happened. The building is GONE. There. Independent investigation DONE.

Joelcpj

That's anti-Semitic how could you

In the middle of war and a pandemic? Sure, right away AP!

Don’t worry World, we have our best guy on it 🤣

Israel is a terror state. killing civilians. stop this. Many civilians like this building bombed the building. IsraelTerrorism FreePalestine

JoeBiden SecBlinken Don't you want to stop the countries which support terrorism and terrorists? Those countries who allow the people go to streets and support the terroristic attacks by Hamas?! Standing by the side of terrorists doese not belong to the values in America

While you're there, ask them about the Liberty.

kenklippenstein As they should.

kenklippenstein Apparently you are Hamas now AP. Welcome to the dehumanisation.

KeithOlbermann Amazing how Republicans now care about Jews, when they didn’t give 2 sh*t when White Supremacist Robert Bower ran up in their synagogue and mass murdered them. Where was the urgency when White Supremacist in Charlottesville were screaming Jews will not replace us!”?

No investigation in this bombing , War crime by NATO

The day the AP told the truth about Israel Palestine and Hamas!!

DokterHuis Too bad you’re losing her to the WashPo...

2 bunker busters and so many lives affected. We will never know the truth. The people pay the price, so the weapons producers get fat on the blood of others. When will people realize they're fighting the wrong enemy. Open your eyes you still have a chance to effect real change.

Let’s look into why y’all are cooped up with terrorists

Meaningful investigation, it should be result oriented

Netanyahu's reasoning is quite weird. He justifies the bombing of the building on the basis that he suspected that it's housing a Hamas intelligence office. But the NAKED REALITY is that he didn't want the world to know the devastating effects of the bombings on the Palestinians

As soon as we investigate why you shared offices with a terrorist organization and refused to report on rocket launches right next to your building by those terrorists.

What for? To do the same as Jamal Khashoggi? Wich was ... nothing

There should be an investigation to determine if AP knew of the munition in the building .

What should be investigated is how AP and others who shared the building served as cover for terrorist operation in that building.

The AP absolutely knew that Hamas was operating In that building. Also how many anti Jewish BIGOTS does the AP keep on staff even after they have been outed? The investigation should be how much Gary Pruitt knew about Hamas activities

What’s to probe? They said we are going to bomb it and then they did it.

BakerLuke because they are anti semits they didnt say a word about all the missils hamas fired to press buildings at Israel shame on u

Israel and peace can never coexist.

Please stop netenyahu! HopeToGaza

Who cares about buildings when Israel is actually bombing civilians! Buildings can be made again but you can't bring back people. IStandWithPalestine FreePalaestine

But they didn’t call for it when Hamas were firing rockets from it

Maybe AP and Al-Jazerra should not be providing material support to Hamas / Palestine

how about USA stop funding the Jews with our money

The Brazilian people support Israel!

But Biden told Bibi that the US values journalism, problem solved right

Media can't report if there's no media. 😂

IDF sent the evidence to the US government and agreed that terrorist activities were taking place in the building.

Jen Psaki on airstrikes: 'We have communicated directly to the Israelis that ensuring the safety and security of journalists and independent media is a paramount responsibility.' Targeting international news organisations has nothing to do with targeting Hamas. It’s about silencing reports of a genocide. Journalists for the most part are scum.
