Israel must ensure the safety of journalists in Gaza, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said, after five journalists were killed in an Israeli attack on a hospital in the southern Gaza Strip today.
“As for the media in Gaza, we have already approved a document together with many other countries. Our position on press freedom remains unchanged,” Tajani said, referring to a joint statement by the 27 countries last week, adding:
“We believe it is right to guarantee the safety of journalists and it is right that journalists can also do their work in the Gaza Strip.”
Twenty Palestinians, including five journalists and a firefighter, were killed and several others wounded in an Israeli attack on the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
