Former Israeli hostage sues US nonprofit for allegedly paying Hamas operative who held him captive

Almog Meir Jan spent 246 days captive in the Gaza Strip, the lawsuit alleges.

A hostage kidnapped during the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel has filed a lawsuit against a United States nonprofit organization that he alleges provided financial support to the militant who imprisoned him before his rescue by the Israel Defense Forces, according to court records.

snip------------------------------

According to the lawsuit, Jan, 22, was rescued from the home of a Hamas operative named Abdallah Aljamal, who served as one of the militant group's designated spokespeople who had contributed writings to the website Palestine Chronicle, which is operated by the People Media Project.

The People Media Project is a nonprofit organization registered in Washington state whose senior leadership also are listed as top editors for the Palestine Chronicle.

The Palestine Chronicle's website describes the nonprofit's mission as educating "the general public by providing a forum that strives to highlight issues of relevance to human rights, national struggles, freedom and democracy in the form of daily news, commentary, features, TV programs, podcasts, book reviews, photos, art, in addition to media and other speaking engagements."
