"In January 2018, Jawad traveled to YPG-controlled areas of Syria, observing the graduation of units of the Syrian Border Security Force south of Hasakah and interviewing Nouri Mahmoud, the spokesman for the YPG, in Qamishli.[1][2][better source needed]

"In November 2017, Jawad published a friend's account of being sexually harassed by Tariq Ramadan. In the post, Jawad described Ramadan as "vapid and incoherent" and an "insincere hypocrite" and criticised Oxford University for employing him.[3]

Jawad worked on the Khalid ibn al-Walid Army. On 20 August, he revealed that "the group's internal security apparatus arrested multiple people in its area of control for having been in contact with me." One of his contacts was imprisoned between 23 May and 21 June 2018. Jawad asserts he is "deeply sorry that my interactions with people led to their arrests by JKBW." An internal security report of the organization describes their investigation into Jawad saying "and among those working for the interest of the Israeli side: Ayman Jawad Al-Jawad, a journalist of Iraqi nationality very interested in the Golan and borders with Israel." Some of the group's security officials apparently thought he was working for Mossad, describing his methods as "the distinctions of the Mossad work team at the time." The report continues "[most of those arrested] were exonerated of most of the accusations for many reasons, among them the fact that the security judge was not convinced he was an intel guy affiliated with the Mossad. But the security apparatus was not convinced otherwise and remained hostile to all following him or contacting him and that was for reasons... in which it appeared that he was exploiting them and their families to extract information and write press articles."[blog 1]
