The Government Media Office strongly condemns the systematic targeting, killing, and assassination of Palestinian journalists by the Israeli occupation. We call on the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), the Arab Journalists Union, and all media organizations across the world to denounce these systematic crimes against Palestinian journalists and media professionals in the Gaza Strip.
We hold the Israeli occupation, the U.S. administration, and all countries complicit in the genocide—including the United Kingdom, Germany, and France—fully responsible for these heinous and brutal crimes.
We urge the international community, international organizations, and all entities concerned with journalism and media around the world to:
•Condemn the occupation’s crimes
•Take serious and effective action to deter and prosecute the Israeli occupation in international courts
•Ensure justice for the victims
•Exert real pressure to stop the genocide
•Protect journalists and media professionals in Gaza
•End the ongoing crimes of killing and assassination targeting them
We pray to Almighty God to grant mercy, acceptance, and Paradise to all our martyred journalist colleagues. We extend our deepest condolences to their families and to the entire Palestinian media community. We also wish a speedy recovery to all wounded journalists.
