At least 18 press freedom and human rights groups expressed their support on Monday for a congressional letter urging the Biden administration to demand that Israel allow independent access into Gaza for U.S. and international journalists.
The statement of support was published by the Committee to Protect Journalists, a media watchdog that has been tracking the historic number of journalist casualties resulting from Israel’s ongoing decimation of Gaza. Since the invasion, Israeli forces have blocked foreign media from being able to independently access the Palestinian territory.
“While more than 4,000 international journalists have traveled to Israel to cover the ongoing war, Israel continues to deny them access to Gaza except for rare and tightly controlled military-led press tours to the war-torn territory,” the statement reads. “This effective ban on foreign reporting has placed an impossible and unreasonable burden on Palestinian reporters in Gaza to document an ongoing war through which they are living.”
