“I realized this was a 1973-scale event – we were caught with our pants down”

After learning that Hamas militants had infiltrated Sderot on the morning of October 7, Bar Peleg got in his car and headed south • “I didn’t go because I get a thrill from risking my life • I went because I understood that something was happening and we had no eyes on the ground • If Haaretz had no eyes on the ground, our readers had no idea what was happening • It felt like a mission”

The Supreme Court Once Again Postpones Its Ruling on the Ban Preventing Journalists from Entering the Gaza Strip

For an entire year, the justices of the Supreme Court allowed the government to avoid responding to a petition filed by representatives of the international press, who demanded to permit journalistic coverage from within Gaza. "All the so-called justifications for this extremely severe violation of the very foundations of freedom of expression and the public’s right to know have now expired," argued the Foreign Press Association (FPA). The justices were unconvinced and granted the state yet another extension to draft a new response. Until now, the judges had justified the delays on the grounds of the ongoing war. now, the pretext is the ceasefire

One Year of Court Delays on Petition Challenging the Ban on Journalists Entering Gaza

The Foreign Press Association (FPA), which filed the petition, declared: "Journalism is not a crime. Israel must stop killing journalists in Gaza and give the foreign press free and independent access to the territory. This continued and institutionalized delay in the process is a mark of shame on Israel and its allies, who have too often chosen not to speak up in defense of basic press freedoms"

i24news Senior Commentator Calls for Mass Murder of Journalists

Jewish fundamentalist Zvi Yehezkeli calls for killing all journalists in the Gaza Strip • The reason: reports from the Strip serve Hamas and harm Israeli public diplomacy • This is not the first time Yehezkeli has called for committing war crimes, this time he did so following the killing of journalists that the IDF and the Prime Minister's Office defined as a tragic accident • Yehezkeli: "Nukhba journalists," "Israel did well in eliminating them, in my opinion too late," "These are journalists who hide in hospitals, who set up command centers there"

How to Make Atrocities That Are Happening an Hour's Drive from Home Disappear: Eight Techniques of Israeli Mainstream Media

The way Israelis consume media today regarding what is happening in the Gaza Strip is not very different from how people consume press in dictatorial states, and in some ways is even worse • The result is not only a process of severe moral corruption both as individuals and as a society, but also the formation of patterns characteristic of a cult

Israel to Supreme Court: We Will Continue to Ban Journalists from Entering the Strip

After ten months delay, the state provided a response to the petition by the Foreign Press Association • Israel insists on continuing the media siege, claiming that journalists' entry would pose a danger to forces, to Gazans, and to the journalists themselves, and would require adapting border crossings for human passage • The state also argues that there is no obligation under international law to allow coverage and that the association should be satisfied with coordinated visits accompanied by IDF spokesperson • So far, 139 foreign correspondents and 85 Israeli correspondents have entered the Strip in this manner • The state and the court continue to collaborate in delaying the handling of the petition: the hearing has been set for October
