British journalist says attacks on Gaza’s reporters are the ‘death of journalism’
Former British LBC radio host Sangita Myska says the killings of Palestinian journalists in Gaza are not just the story of individuals but the “death of journalism”.
“If Israel is not held to account for breaching the protections afforded to journalists in Gaza under international law, the international community is giving the green light to every country around the world that we can be killed with impunity simply for doing our jobs,” Myska said at a vigil in London hosted by the freelancer branch of the National Union of Journalists.
On Monday, an Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza killed at least 21 people, including five journalists, in what international organisations have called an attack on the news media.
Since Israel began its war on Gaza in October 2023, more than 270 journalists have been killed.
Israel’s UN envoy says his country needs more time to probe Nasser Hospital attacks
Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon says that there will be more information in the “next few days” on a strike on Nasser Hospital in Gaza on Monday, which killed at least 21 people, including five journalists.
“We’re still looking into the details of that incident, and so that, in the next few days, we will have more information about that,” Danon told reporters.
“Our goal is to fight terrorists, not journalists, not anyone who is not involved in terrorism,” he claimed.
Various international organisations have condemned Israel for indiscriminate attacks on Gaza that kill civilians, including women and children, daily.
More time for the attention to either go away or make up more lies.
Israel demands retraction of UN-backed report declaring famine in Gaza
Israel has called on the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Initiative (IPC) to retract a report that officially declared that famine was present in parts of Gaza.
“Israel demands that the IPC will retract immediately its fabricated report and publish a notice,” the director general of Israel’s foreign ministry, Eden Bar Tal, told a news conference.
Tal added that Israel would share “evidence” of misconduct in preparing the report with the IPC’s donors if the organisation fails to retract “within a short time”, but did not provide any evidence to back up his statement during the news conference.
He went on to call the initiative a “politicised” institute that is “working for an evil terror organisation”.
The comments are the latest from Israel, accusing or insinuating that criticism of its conduct in Gaza from other countries or international bodies aids Hamas or is anti-Semitic.
