(Jewish Group) Second France24 journalist fired after antisemitic tweets revealed
France24 journalist Dina Abi-Saab was the second to be fired of four journalists who were revealed to have written antisemitic tweets, a French parliamentary session revealed on July 18th.
The tweets were revealed by The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA), an organization that investigates and brings to light instances of anti-Israel bias in world media. The expose was originally published in March and revealed the names and social media profiles of the four journalists.
In March, France24 dismissed their Beirut correspondent Joelle Maroun, after the expose uncovered an extensive list of tweets by Maroun ranging from praising Hitler to calling on Palestinians to murder Jews in a now-deleted tweet.
Abi-Saab, who is of Lebanese descent and serves as France24’s Geneva correspondent, was revealed to have made a litany of controversial and antisemitic posts on Twitter. In 2017, she shared an article about a letter King Charles III allegedly wrote saying that “the influx of Western Jews to ‘Palestine’ is the cause of the conflicts in the Middle East”.
