Journalists rally in Paris in solidarity with Palestinian colleagues
Journalists are taking part in a demonstration in the French capital to show support for their Palestinian colleagues under Israeli attack in Gaza.
Reporting from the rally, Al Jazeera’s Hashem Ahelbarra noted that this is the first time French media organisations have come together to address “the targeted killing of journalists in Gaza”.
“They say it is too little too late, but still, this is a message they would like to send to the international community – on the need to end the war in Gaza and provide a dignified protection for the journalists in Gaza,” Ahelbarra said.
The demonstrators are also calling on Israel to allow international media organisations into Gaza to report on Israel’s continued bombardment.
As we reported earlier, several media groups in France signed an open letter this week expressing solidarity with Palestinian journalists in Gaza. In addition to the rally in Paris, another demonstration is scheduled this evening in France’s southern port city of Marseille.

US Muslim group denounces Palestinian journalist’s killing
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has urged US and other international media to speak out against the killing of Palestinian journalist Fatima Hassouneh in Gaza.
As we reported earlier, Hassouneh was killed alongside 10 members of her family in an Israeli air strike that targeted their home in Gaza City.
“American and international media must speak out about Israel’s murder of Fatima Hassouneh and of so many other Palestinian journalists,” CAIR Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper said in a statement.
“Media silence on this issue sends the dangerous message that Palestinian journalists may be murdered at will by the far-right Israeli government as it seeks to eliminate those who tell the world about its crimes against humanity in Gaza.”
