Israel offered Anas al-Sharif safe passage out of Gaza if he stopped reporting

Israel offered Anas al-Sharif safe passage out of Gaza four days before was killed if he stopped reporting but he refused, his brother revealed in an interview.

Mohamed Al-Sharif told journalist Ahmed Jalal in a video interview published on Wednesday that Anas was offered safe passage to leave with his wife, children and even the remainder of his family.

Mohamed said it was the 'latest' offer Anas had received. 

His brother said Anas told him that "I will never abandon my people while they are living in this situation.

"Either I live to witness the end of the war, or be martyred. Other than that, I have no option or decision. Whatever God has destined will happen".

Anas chose to stay in Gaza City even though he knew Israel was planning a full-scale invastion, with imminent plans to take over Gaza City.

In one of his final posts on X, Anas said: "To whom it may concern, the occupation is now openly threatening a full-scale invasion of Gaza. For 22 months, the city has been bleeding under relentless bombardment from land, sea, and air. Tens of thousands have been killed, and hundreds of thousands wounded. If this madness does not end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop. Please share this message and tag everyone who has the power to help end this massacre. Silence is complicity".
