Tweet and delete: Al-Jazeera anchor Ola al-Fares fuels discord in America

The terrorist Brotherhood organization continues to use its arms to spread malice, especially its misleading media platforms. Jordanian media figure Ola al-Fares, a new anchor for the Qatari network Al-Jazeera, has been a prominent face spreading the Brotherhood’s anarchic ideology and carrying out its agenda of spreading riots, especially in Western countries, using social networking sites that attract millions of followers.

Fares used her position at Al-Jazeera to fuel incitement against American police, frequently posting on Twitter and then deleting the tweets, including one that claimed a Palestinian was behind the protests occurring in the United States.

Seeking fame

Ola al-Fares was born on November 6, 1985 to a political family in Amman, Jordan. Her grandfather, Abdul Raouf al-Fares, was a member of the fourth Jordanian parliament from 1954 until his death in 1984, while her father, Tahseen al-Fares, served in ninth Jordanian parliament in 1985.

Ola graduated from high school at sixteen years of age, joined the Faculty of Law, and finished her university studies at the age of nineteen from Al-Ahliyya Amman University. She then began her media career at an early age, becoming the youngest female reporter in the Middle East at the age of seventeen, according to OK! Magazine.

In 2004, Fares began a four-year stint working from Jordan as a news reporter for Al-Arabiya with the support and encouragement of Jordanian journalist Saad al-Silawi. Then she joined MBC 1 as a broadcaster and presenter of the program “MBC in a Week”. She submitted her resignation from MBC in early 2017 and moved to Rotana Group, but this contract was suspended and she terminated her contract with them in 2019.

Informative funds

In February 2019, Fares formally resigned from the Saudi MBC network after nearly 15 years of collaboration. She tweeted at the time, “I have promised myself that the year 2019 will be a year of comeback, worthy of the absence… As I usually say: I vanish to come back stronger… and I disappear to increase longing. Wait for me.”

On May 31, 2019, she announced that she was joining Al-Jazeera to provide news broadcasts and to host a variety program called “With or Against” on the network’s subsidiary beIN Drama.

Fares has flirted with Qatar’s emir through her Instagram account, where she posted an old picture of her on horseback wearing a shemagh scarf. One user commented, “Tamim’s shemagh,” to which she quickly responded, “Long live Tamim.”

Searching for wealth, Fares moved to Al-Jazeera, which had previously been attempting to attract her. The network had offered her a monthly salary of 60,000 Qatari riyals ($16,000), but she rejected it, preferring at the time to stay at MBC, as she was then earning 30,000 UAE dirhams. But now she earns approximately 100,000 Qatari riyals ($27,000) per month at Al-Jazeera.

Agendas

Since joining Al-Jazeera, Fares has been carrying out the Brotherhood’s agendas in line with Doha’s policies, sending hidden messages to Arab governments that have been credited with embracing Qatar and lifting it out of its state of despair, so as to bring back the devalued Qatari riyal.

Ola’s malicious intentions have been exposed regarding many Arab issues, particularly the Palestinian issue, after she claimed on Twitter that a Palestinian from the city of Hebron is behind the angry demonstrations that have swept across the United States.

The tweet received backlash, and Fares later deleted it, but her perversions no longer fool anyone.
