Major media organizations call on Israel to lift ban on foreign journalists entering Gaza
Executives from over two dozen major news organizations, including AP, BBC, CNN, and Reuters, released a joint letter Thursday calling on Israel to allow foreign journalists independent access to Gaza. Israel has maintained a ban on independent foreign media entry since the war began in October 2023, citing security concerns for Israeli soldiers, though a ceasefire has been in place for over six months. The Israeli government has not yet responded to the media organizations' request for discussion.
