Global newspapers and websites have addressed the latest developments in the Israeli war on Gaza, focusing on the assassination of journalists and the ongoing policy of starvation in the region. These events have sparked a wave of global protests against the war, which have been met with repression from some Western governments.
The British Independent newspaper stated in its editorial that "Israel kills journalists to stifle freedom of expression, and the truth, as they say, is the first casualty of war." Israel has unprecedentedly prevented international journalists from covering the conflict in Gaza, leading to accusations of war crimes by the International Criminal Court.
The article also noted that the term "genocide" is increasingly used against Israel due to the deprivation of food and medicine for the residents of Gaza, reflecting the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the region.
In her article in the New York Times, Shira Evron, director of research at the Israeli Policy Forum, said that images of starving children in Gaza have captured the world's attention, but the narrative within Israel is different, focusing on other issues.
Evron added that "Israel is required to change its approach as it is responsible for creating this crisis, and its continued deliberate neglect will exacerbate the damage in Gaza and increase Israel's regional and international isolation."
On the other hand, former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken wrote in the Wall Street Journal that the decision by France, Britain, Canada, and Australia to recognize a Palestinian state in September is "morally right and reflects a global consensus."
Blinken claimed that unconditional recognition of Palestine would not result in a Palestinian state or end the suffering in Gaza, emphasizing the need for recognition of a Palestinian state to be accompanied by security guarantees for Israel.
Writer Andy Beckett condemned the British government's harsh treatment of pro-Palestinian protests in an article for the Guardian, noting that the repression of protest movements and mass arrests in London demonstrate a dangerous trend toward silencing voices.
Beckett pointed out that "there is a double standard where peaceful protests in the West are suppressed, while brutal massacres in Gaza are overlooked, showing a blatant political and moral bias."
