Israel the biggest killer of journalists worldwide for 3 years running, says RSF
  • Reporters Without Borders has reported that Israel has been the deadliest country for journalists for three consecutive years, with 29 Palestinian reporters among the 67 journalists killed globally in 2023. This alarming statistic highlights the ongoing violence in Gaza, where nearly 220 journalists have died since the conflict escalated in October 2023.
  • The designation of Israel as the leading killer of journalists raises significant concerns regarding press freedom and the safety of media personnel in conflict zones. The high death toll among journalists underscores the dangers they face while covering the ongoing war in Gaza.
  • The situation reflects a broader humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where the Palestinian Health Ministry reports over 70,000 deaths since the onset of the conflict. Despite claims of ceasefires, violence continues, with recent airstrikes resulting in civilian casualties, raising questions about accountability and the protection of human rights in the region.
