Nicknamed ‘Daughter of Palestine’, Shireen Abu Akleh was among the Arab world’s first female field reporters and was allegedly shot dead by Israeli forces in May 2022 while reporting for Al Jazeera from the occupied West Bank. Which of these countries partly owns Al Jazeera ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The correct choice is: “State of Qatar”
Al Jazeera is a media network headquartered in Doha, Qatar. It was launched in 1996 with funding from the Emir of Qatar and is owned and funded, in part, by the Government of Qatar. Saudi Arabia and the UAE, far from owning it, demanded its closure during their 2017 blockade of Qatar. Shireen Abu Akleh, a veteran Palestinian-American Al Jazeera correspondent, was killed while covering an Israeli raid in Jenin on 11 May 2022.
