The Israeli government's killing of journalists in Gaza is unconscionable and a blatant attack on press freedom. Over 237 media workers have lost their lives covering Israel's wars, with the recent deaths of four Al Jazeera staff being particularly egregious. This shocking impunity undermines the vital role journalists play in bearing witness and holding power to account. Concrete actions are urgently needed to protect press freedoms, ensure accountability for these crimes, and ultimately work towards a just resolution to the ongoing conflict and Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. I urge you to support measures that will end military aid enabling such violence, pursue accountability through international bodies, and facilitate good-faith negotiations towards a peaceful settlement respecting Palestinian rights and self-determination.
