Foreign Press Association calls for journalists to enter Gaza

The Foreign Press Association (FPA), which represents international media in Israel and the Palestinian territories, called on Israel to allow foreign reporters access to Gaza.

The FPA filed a petition with Israel’s top court to press Israel to open the besieged enclave to international media. 

“For over two years, Israel has blocked foreign reporters from going into the territory, greatly hindering the media’s ability to cover this devastating conflict,” the FPA said in a statement on Wednesday.

“We are pleased to finally have our day in court and hope the justices will swiftly approve our request to enter Gaza,” Tania Kraemer, chairperson of the FPA, added.
