 ❗️Foreign Press Association urges Israel to open Gaza to international journalists

International journalists have urged Israel to allow foreign media access to Gaza following the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

In a statement issued on Friday, the Foreign Press Association (FPA) called on Israel to “immediately open the borders and allow international media free and independent access to the Gaza Strip” now that the fighting has stopped.

The FPA noted that Israel’s Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on 23 October regarding the country’s long-standing ban on foreign press entry, “after more than a year in which the state has been allowed to delay its response.”
