GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), The number of Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza has risen to 261 since the beginning of the Israeli genocide against the Strip in October 2023, following the announcement of the death of journalist Amal Mohammed Shamali, who worked as a correspondent for Radio Qatar.
The Government Media Office (GMO) in Gaza strongly condemned the systematic targeting, killing, and assassination of Palestinian journalists by the Israeli occupation forces. It called on the International Federation of Journalists, the Arab Journalists Union, and all journalistic bodies worldwide to denounce these systematic crimes against Palestinian journalists and media workers in Gaza.
The statement also held Israel, the US administration, and countries complicit in the genocide, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, fully responsible for committing these heinous and brutal crimes.
The GMO urged the international community, international organizations, and all bodies concerned with journalism and media worldwide to condemn Israel’s crimes, deter it, pursue it in international courts for its ongoing crimes, and bring the perpetrators to justice.
It added, “We also demand that they exert serious and effective pressure to stop the crime of genocide, to protect journalists and media workers in Gaza, and to end the crime of killing them.”
