Because the apartheid state has prevented international reporters from entering the occupied Palestinian territory, local reporters have been the ones putting their lives and jobs on the line to get the truth out about Israel’s war crimes. And occupation forces have murdered around 200 Palestinian media workers since October 2023. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has said that, of all the journalists who were killed in 2024, “Israel is responsible for two-thirds of those deaths and yet continues to act with total impunity”.
