The killing of Al Jazeera’s Anas al-Sharif alongside six other journalists in a targeted Israeli strike has divided opinion across the world. The deliberate murder of journalists reporting on a conflict is a war crime. But Israel insists that al-Sharif was the head of a Hamas terrorist cell, a claim the UN, Foreign Press Association and major broadcasters say doesn’t have sufficient evidence to back it up. There is some evidence that al-Sharif was a former Hamas employee and, at some point, a supporter. But does this justify such a targeted attack in a conflict which much of the many journalists have simply not been allowed to see? Piers Morgan speaks to Al Jazeera 360 director Jamal Elshayyal and Middle East correspondent Jotam Confino. Then, Netanyahu’s decision to push for the total occupation of Gaza has proved his critics right. So are we now truly looking at a genocide there? Piers asks genocide scholar and international law specialist Professor William Schabas and professor of law at City University of New York, Jeffrey Lax.
