Johnston, 45, was abducted in Gaza City on March 12. A group calling itself the Army of Islam claims to have abducted him.

He was the only Western reporter permanently based in Gaza, and his abduction has triggered appeals for his release from lawmakers, human rights groups and journalist associations around the world.

Several foreigners have been seized in Gaza in recent years and all have been released unharmed, but none has been held as long as Johnston.
