The International Federation of Journalists calls for international institutions to document what is happening in Gaza.

The Secretary-General of the International Federation of Journalists, Anthony Bellanger, stated that the Israeli army is killing journalists who possess nothing but a camera or a phone, providing unconvincing justifications and facing no accountability, emphasizing that this behavior constitutes a war crime.

Bellanger added in an interview that he visited Palestine and witnessed the suffering of Palestinians in the West Bank, feeling deep pain when he saw journalists who had been injured, while impunity reigns supreme.

Bellanger rejected describing what is happening in the Gaza Strip as a war, stating that what is occurring is an army facing a group of journalists, and thus it is time for journalists around the world to act to save their colleagues in Gaza.

He expressed his gratitude to the journalistic institutions that participated in the solidarity campaign with Palestinian journalists, saying it is a gesture of solidarity with the residents of the Strip and important, although symbolic and will not solve the problem.

The campaign must be escalated, and Bellanger emphasized the need to intensify the journalistic campaign against Israel to shed light on the catastrophic situation and the massacre being committed against journalists in Gaza who are conveying the truth away from Israeli propaganda.

Bellanger called on international journalists to enter the Gaza Strip, stating that the International Federation of Journalists has been demanding the entry of prominent foreign journalists into the Strip since the beginning of the war, but to no avail.

He said it is clear that journalists are not welcome in Gaza, calling for major institutions to be allowed to enter the Strip to document the war, convey the reality of what is happening, and protect the journalists who are still working there.

150 international journalistic institutions organized a solidarity campaign with the journalists of Gaza who were killed by Israel, and the websites of these institutions were draped in black as a sign of their rejection of the killing of these journalists.
