Condemn Israel for intentionally massacring journalists to hide their warcrimes

The systematic killing of Palestinian journalists by Israel forces is an appalling attack on press freedom and human rights. With 174 journalists murdered by Israel in just the past year, this is far beyond the annual global average and represents one of the largest massacres of media workers in recent history. Israel's actions deprive Palestinians of their voice and ability to document the atrocities being committed. This wanton violence against truth-tellers cannot be tolerated. Israel's policy of deliberately targeting and killing journalists cannot continue with impunity. The international community must take concrete measures to protect media personnel and hold Israel accountable for these egregious crimes against the press. Failure to do so sets a dangerous precedent enabling further violence against those exposing injustice worldwide. Decisive action upholding journalists' right to work freely without fear of extrajudicial execution is imperative to preserving human rights and democracy. I urge you to support a resolution establishing a mechanism to safeguard Palestinian journalists in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2222. Those responsible for the killing of media workers must face consequences. The press plays a vital role, and these targeted attacks on truth and human dignity cannot go unanswered. Strong leadership protecting press freedoms is crucial at this juncture.
