Hamdan Ballal Was Arrested In The West Bank By Israeli Forces What Happened?
Developing narrative in the West Bank, Jewish activists claim that Israeli settlers have attacked one of the Palestinian co-directors of an Oscar-winning film and have been arrested by the Israeli soldiers. Amar Kota-Robles is in the newsroom where we are gathering the most recent specifics. Activists claim Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank beat him, then the Israeli soldiers captured him.
The attack aimed at the Palestinian community under Masafariyata. Bolal allegedly left from the attack bleeding. He was then arrested by troops while still under treatment in an ambulance. His exact whereabouts is unknown currently. Early this month, his co-director discussed the humanitarian problem at the Oscars.
Oppose as we ask the globe to act seriously to halt the injustice and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. There was no alternative ground where Israeli and Palestinian filmmakers could work together. Fellow director on the project Yuval Abraham posted on X said that after being lynched by the colonists Bilal suffered injuries to his head and stomach.
Saying no trace of him since, he concluded his post. Although the Israeli military stated it was investigating the incident, otherwise it has not said anything. Of course, there is great worry here live in the newsroom and mark.
In some Middle Eastern breaking news, where the Israeli co-director of the Academy Award-winning documentary No Other Land reports one of his Palestinian co-directors has been lynched, Yuval Abraham claims in a post only in the last hour that Hamdan Bilal, his co-director, was battered and suffered injuries to his stomach and head.
Furthermore mentioned is the fact that troops entered the ambulance he requested and that Bilal has not been seen since. Our staff is out contacting the Israeli Defense Forces to provide comments on the accusations. Let me show you Bilal right here at the Oscars. I want to visit Matt Bradley, who is tracking these late-breaking events for us in Tel Aviv.
Matt, what do we know? Indeed, this is a situation that has lately occurred just the past few hours; what we are currently witnessing is rather normal from what we have observed in the safariata, the scene of that documentary that won the oscar and whose reception in the United States is not showing.
This was you know a sequence that might have been removed from the documentary itself um we saw according to the people who were there and according to other filmmakers who were there and according on Jewish American activists who observed the situation itself. These campaigners belonged to the Centre for Jewish Nonviolence. Again, around half a dozen Jewish American activists were videotaping this.
Palestinian Co-directors Of An Oscar-Winning Film
They said, and Yuval Ibrahim, who is the co-director along with Hamdan Balal, said that he had injuries to his head and his stomach, he was bleeding, and that he was put in an ambulance and that Israeli soldiers, and we don’t know if there were actually Israeli soldiers, there were people who were dressed as Israeli soldiers, and one of the things.
Hallie, about that situation in that particular part of the West Bank, and actually in a lot of the West Bank, is that Israeli soldiers, or that settlers, are deputized by Israeli soldiers, and they wear Israeli soldier uniforms even though they are settlers.
And I have gone out there. There are no marks on them. Their epaulets do not feature ranks. You therefore cannot identify them. Their ranks are not clear-cut. Their names or numbers elude you as well. They can so, in a sense, act with impunity. They entered the ambulance containing Hamdan Balaou under custody.
Where he sustained injuries, they arrived and arrested him. And now these activists and these filmmakers hardly know exactly where he is. And they are tweeting, attempting to document what is happening. Again, though, this is a scenario that may have been omitted from the film. This is sort of like you know, this documentary coming to life.
