Once again, you are citing a non-neutral source. Washington Institute is a pro-Israel think tank started by people affiliated to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, an influential pro-Israel lobby group. Please check the bias of your own sources.
But the question here is whether Al Jazeera is credible. From my observation, they usually just stick to facts when it comes to their reporting. Of course, they omit anything critical of Qatar, but that is not surprising. If any bias could be found, it would be largely in the opinion pieces they publish (which is generally critical of Israel). But opinion pieces are called as such for a reason and all media publication push their own editorial views through them.
I know about Al Jazeera. And I know about their criticisms—especially of their Arabic version. If you read my post, I mention them myself. But the OP of this comment thread made a specific claim in their initial post and I asked them to cite their source of information. This is not a political magazine/community, but one meant for discussing the industry and practice of journalism. Such accusations as the one OP made against a reputed international news organisation isn’t appreciated in this community unless they are fact based.

I’m just going down a list of links after googling “Al Jazeera criticisms” here’s another https://www.fr.de/politik/al-schifa-krankenhaus-gaza-stadt-reporter-interview-palaestinenser-tote-hamas-92678699.html I think this one is Judenfrei. You seem to know a lot about these news agencies except for Al Jazeera. Take a look on Reddit, you can find tons of posts from people in other countries complaining about Al Jazeera falsely reporting events.
