TELL ISRAEL: For more than two years, Israel has maintained an absolute blockade on
foreign press access to Gaza. It’s the longest and most complete media ban
of any modern conflict. Meanwhile, at least 239 journalists and media
workers have been killed—making this the deadliest period for press
freedom ever documented. Sign the petition: Israel must lift its ban on foreign journalists!

For more than two years, Israel has maintained an absolute blockade on
foreign press access to Gaza—the longest and most complete media ban of
any modern conflict.

Even after a “ceasefire” was announced on October 10, Israel has refused
to lift the media blockade. This isn't about security. It's about silence.
Meanwhile, at least 239 journalists and media workers have been
killed—making this the deadliest period for press freedom ever
documented.^1

Israel must grant immediate, independent access to Gaza for all foreign
journalists, and end the deliberate targeting and killing of journalists.

Palestinian journalists have carried the impossible, heroic burden of
documenting the genocide in Gaza alone while fighting for their own
survival. They're exhausted, displaced, and starving. For the last 2
years, Israel has systematically killed them in cafes, hospitals and press
tents.

The absence of foreign journalists isn't an accident—it's strategy. When a
government blocks the press, it's because it has something to hide. The
Committee to Protect Journalists, Reporters Without Borders, and press
freedom organizations globally have condemned Israel's media blockade as
an assault on press freedom itself.

We cannot allow Israel to cover up one of the largest crime scenes of our
time.
