PEC denounces the murder of 250 Palestinian journalists by the Israeli army
The Press Emblem Campaign (PEC) reports that at least 250 Palestinian journalists have been killed by the Israeli army since the conflict began in October 2023, with no legal accountability for these deaths. The PEC highlights the lack of credible evidence linking the deceased journalists to Hamas and criticizes the total impunity for these attacks. Despite Israel acknowledging some errors in targeting journalists, the organization notes ongoing fatalities among journalists in Gaza, even with a ceasefire in place. Additionally, the PEC condemns the ban on foreign journalists entering Gaza, calling it unprecedented and detrimental to independent reporting on the Palestinian situation. The PEC advocates for a new international convention to enhance the protection of journalists in conflict zones.
