Organisation edit

Middle East Eye was launched in London in April 2014. It is not transparent about its ownership. It is formally owned by a company called M.E.E. Limited, with a lone director Jamal Bessasso. But Bessasso is not specified as the owner.[4] Its editor-in-chief is David Hearst, a former foreign lead writer for The Guardian.[1] It employs about 20 full-time staff in London as of 2017.[5]

According to its critics, Middle East Eye began to form in London when the Islamist influence of Al Jazeera was beginning to wane in 2013[6] and that several Al Jazeera journalists joined its team.[7][8][9] Jonathan Powell, a senior executive at Al Jazeera was a consultant ahead of its launch, and registered the website's domain names. Jamal Bassasso, a Kuwait-born Palestinian living in London, was the sole director of Middle East Eye's parent company MEE Ltd. Bassasso was a former director for the registered agent of Hamas-controlled Al-Quds TV.[10] David Hearst denied that Bessasso was the owner of the news site, but refrained from divulging the real owner.[11][12]

According to Ilan Berman and Sultan Sooud Al-Qassemi, Middle East Eye is backed by Qatar.[13][14][15] The governments of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and Bahrain accuse MEE of pro-Muslim Brotherhood bias and receiving Qatari funding. They have demanded MEE be shut down following the Saudi-led blockade of Qatar.[5][16] MEE has denied the accusations, saying that it is an independent news site, not funded by any country or movement.[17]

Coverage edit

Middle East Eye covers a range of topics across the Middle East. According to its website, it reports on events in 22 different countries. Content is separated into different categories on its website including news, opinion and essays.[18]

Since the foundation of the media outlet, it has provided exclusives on a number of major events in the Middle East, which have often been picked up by other media outlets globally. In early June 2017, an anonymous hacker group began distributing emails to multiple news outlets that they had hacked from the inbox of Yousef Otaiba, the UAE's ambassador in Washington D.C.[19] This included providing details from leaked emails of Mohammed bin Salman and US officials.[20] This revelation on 14 August 2017, led to other media outlets printing other material from the leaked emails.[21][22] According to The New York Times, the hacked emails appeared to benefit Qatar and be the work of hackers working for Qatar, a common subject of the distributed emails.[23]

On July 29, 2016, MEE published a story alleging that the government of the United Arab Emirates, aided by Palestinian exile Mohammed Dahlan, had funnelled significant sums of money to conspirators of the 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt two weeks earlier.[24] In 2017, Dahlan brought a lawsuit of libel against the MEE in a London court seeking damages of up to £250,000. However, Dahlan abandoned the suit shortly before the case was to begin. In a statement, Dahlan maintained that the story was "fully fabricated" but claimed that he has "achieved his goals in the English courts," and was now planning to sue Facebook in Dublin where the article was "widely published". However, according to MEE and their lawyers, by dropping the claim, Dahlan would be forced to pay all the legal costs, of both parties, estimated to be in excess of £500,000.[25][26]

In November 2019, the Turkish government officially accused Dahlan of involvement in the 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt and is offering $700,000 for information leading to his capture.[27]

Middle East tensions edit

Blocking edit

In 2016, the United Arab Emirates blocked the Middle East Eye in what was a countrywide ban. MEE says it contacted the UAE embassy in London for an explanation, but never received a response.[28] Saudi Arabia also blocked the website across the country in May 2017. Following protests against the President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in September and October 2019, Egypt also blocked the website.[29]

2017–2018 Qatar diplomatic crisis edit

Saudi Arabia accused MEE of being a news outlet funded by Qatar (both directly and indirectly).[30] On 22 June 2017, during the Qatar diplomatic crisis, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt, and Bahrain, as part of a list of 13 demands, demanded that Qatar close Middle East Eye, which they saw as sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood and a Qatari-funded and aligned outlet.[30][31][32]

MEE denies receiving funds from them stating that the demand was an attempt to "extinguish any free voice which dares to question what they are doing."[33] In a statement responding to the demand, the publication's editor-in-chief said "MEE covers the area without fear or favour, and we have carried reports critical of the Qatari authorities, for instance how workers from the subcontinent are treated on building projects for the 2022 World Cup."[34][35]

Cyberattack edit

In April 2020, MEE was one of 20 websites targeted by hackers that cybersecurity experts, ESET, have linked to an Israeli surveillance company called Candiru. The website was impacted using a Watering hole attack which serves malicious code to certain visitors allowing the attackers to compromise their PCs.[36]

Controversies edit

On 20 October 2022, MEE cut ties with Palestinian journalist Shatha Hammad after it was discovered that she made a Facebook post in 2014 which praised Adolf Hitler for the Holocaust and for "sharing the same ideology". The Thomson Reuters Foundation had withdrawn a 2022 Kurt Schork Award in International Journalism from her, after the discovery on 18 October.[37][38][39][40]

Commentator Ibrahim Alkhamis, writing for the Saudi newspaper Arab News, accused the MEE of propagating rumours and fabrications regarding Qatar's state enemies such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt, while simultaneously remaining silent on the misdeeds of Qatar's own members of its royal family, and said that MEE functions as an "extension to Al Jazeera" without being accused of being a state-owned news outlet yet hosting a rotation of columnists and Al Jazeera employees.[9]

Criticism edit

In 2017, a conservative thinktank, the American Enterprise Institute released an article in which they concluded that the Middle East Eye "acts far less as a traditional journalistic outlet and far more as an English-language front for Qatari-supported groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas".[41]

Notable contributors edit

Jamal Khashoggi edit

Jamal Khashoggi wrote for MEE prior to joining The Washington Post.[56][57]

According to a post on the MEE website, Khashoggi wrote for them over a period of two years. According to MEE, his op-eds were not credited to him at the time due to concerns for his safety because many of his articles for MEE are critical of Saudi Arabia and its policies, and Saudi Arabia's rift with Qatar.[56] Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist, was assassinated when he entered the Saudi consulate in Turkey on 2 October 2018. After initial denials, Saudi Arabia stated that he was killed by rogue assassins inside the consulate building with "premeditated intention".[58]
