Gaza – Saba:
Mohammed Yasin, Director of the Palestinian Media Forum, criticized on Wednesday the practices of the Israeli enemy, describing them as a systematic attempt to cover up the crimes committed in the Gaza Strip by restricting press freedom and preventing media outlets from reporting the truth about the ongoing destruction and humanitarian suffering.
In a statement to the Palestinian news agency "Saba," Yasin said this policy represents a "double crime," as the Israeli enemy not only commits violations against civilians but also seeks to obscure the truth and prevent the world from seeing the scale of the humanitarian catastrophe.
Yasin emphasized that press freedom is a right guaranteed under international law, including the Geneva Conventions, which explicitly protect journalists during armed conflicts. He stressed that restricting this right constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.
He called on international media institutions, human rights organizations, and the United Nations to take immediate action to stop these repressive measures and ensure freedom of media work in Gaza.
Yasin also saluted Palestinian journalists who continue to carry out their duties despite threats and dangers, urging the international community to provide them with real protection to ensure the truth continues to reach the world.
