			<description><![CDATA[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]]></description>

Israel must stop killing journalists in Gaza and give the foreign press free and independent access to the territory.
