Qatari FM: accusations against Al Jazeera journalists should be 'treated with scepticism'

The Qatari foreign minister has said that Israeli claims that Al Jazeera journalists are fighters in Gaza should be "treated with scepticism", adding that if the accusations were true, the news site "must act".

On Wednesday, Israel's military claimed that Anas al-Sharif, Talal Aruki, Alaa Salama, Hossam Shabat, Ismail Farid and Ashraf Saraj were members of either Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
