At the

earlier this week
@DavidLammy
falsely states that there are no journalists in Gaza when discussing the UK government's inability to verify who is behind the looting of aid trucks. He fails to elaborate or discuss the now over 137 journalists and media workers killed by Israel in Gaza since October last year. He doesn't mention Israel's systematic targeting of journalists in Palestine as part of concerted efforts to shut down access to information and he doesn't comment on Israel's mass disinformation campaign. He goes on to relay that no politicians like him are able to go to Gaza, but does not say why this is the case. The answer of course is that Israel has banned international journalist from entering Gaza, has systematically targeted Palestinian journalists and media workers in Gaza, and will not permit delegations from countries like the UK to get anywhere near Gaza unless its for a tour of the kibbutz in the Gaza envelope to hear anti-Palestinian propaganda and meet with Israeli military officials. I would urge

@DavidLammy

to read the latest from

@pressfreedom

on journalists killed in the Israel-Gaza war published just three days ago: cpj.org/2024/11/journa I would also be curious to find out the reaction of Gaza-based Palestinian journalists such as

to this claim by our Foreign Secretary. It seems as though Palestinian journalists and their coverage doesn't matter much to the UK government?
