The Israeli government informed the Supreme Court of its intention to formulate a "new policy" within a month regarding its stance on allowing journalists into the Gaza Strip, according to Hebrew media.
This step represents, according to observers, a new evasion by Benjamin Netanyahu's government amid international pressure and criticism for preventing journalists from entering Gaza.
The Hebrew newspaper "Haaretz" reported that Netanyahu's government submitted a response to the Supreme Court regarding petitions it received against the ban on journalists entering Gaza.
The government stated that it will draft a "new plan or policy" within a month and will provide a statement on this matter by November 23.
In the coming days, the possibility for journalists to enter Gaza under the protection of the Israeli army will continue up to the yellow line.
Last Thursday, the Foreign Press Association in Israel expressed its disappointment with the Supreme Court's decision allowing the government to continue preventing journalists from entering Gaza.
The association confirmed that the government has once again relied on delaying tactics to prevent journalists' entry.
Since the beginning of the genocide on October 8, 2023, the Israeli army has killed at least 238 Palestinian journalists.
Human rights and media organizations assert that Israel's ban on international journalists aims to prevent the transmission of the atrocities of genocide to the world.
