Impose an arms embargo on Israel now for murdering journalists

The deaths of journalist Samer Abu Daqqa and Ola Al Dahdouh while reporting in Gaza are deeply concerning. Reports indicate they were targeted by Israel drones, with Abu Daqqa and Al Dahdouh murdered. As journalists, they were civilians working to bring important stories to light. The international community has a responsibility to protect the freedom of the press and ensure journalists can work safely. A full, transparent investigation into these incidents is warranted to determine accountability and prevent future tragedies. Attacks on media personnel are unacceptable violations of human rights and press freedom. Concrete actions are needed to uphold these principles and international law. An independent probe should examine Israel's rules of engagement and use of force protocols to identify necessary reforms. Imposing an arms embargo on Israel is necessary to incentivize compliance with international law. The ability of journalists to report freely, without fear of violence, is essential for democracy and human rights to flourish.
