Canadian photojournalist Valerie Zink announced on her personal Facebook page that she was resigning from Reuters news agency after eight years as a stringer, saying it had “become impossible” for her to maintain a relationship with the outlet given its role in “justifying and enabling the systematic assassination of 245 journalists in Gaza.”

“When Israel murdered Anas Al-Sharif, together with the entire Al Jazeera crew in Gaza City on August 10, Reuters chose to publish Israel’s entirely baseless claim that Al-Sharif was a Hamas operative — one of countless lies that media outlets like Reuters have dutifully repeated and dignified,” Zink wrote.

“The fact that Anas Al-Sharif’s work won a Pulitzer Prize for Reuters did not compel them to come to his defence when Israeli occupation forces placed him on a “hit list” of journalists accused of being Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants,” she said.
