For over a year, Israel has denied access to foreign and local journalists attempting to report from Gaza, citing safety concerns due to the war dynamically raging both above and below ground. Israeli Ambassador to Switzerland, Ifat Reshef, argues that the safety of reporters is at risk, while critics, including aid organizations and journalist associations, claim this is a cover for targeting journalists. With 137 journalists reportedly killed, questions persist about Israel’s handling of media and the narrative surrounding the conflict.
