She said in a tweet that she wasn’t aware of any such harassed reporters, even though she concedes she spent only one week in Gaza herself during the height of the conflict. This is hardly surprising, as who can expect a terrorist group to treat reporters nicely-except perhaps many reporters themselves? But what is surprising is that New York Times' Jerusalem bureau chief Jodi Rudoren undermined her own newspaper-quickly denouncing the FPA’s statement. In a harsh statement, it condemned the terrorist group for “the blatant, incessant, forceful and unorthodox methods employed by the Hamas authorities and their representatives against visiting international journalists in Gaza over the past month.” On August 11th, the normally Israel-averse Foreign Press Association in Israel conceded what those closely following the war coverage already knew: That Hamas has been intimidating foreign reporters.
