Stop killing journalists
As of today (August 26, 2025) the Committee to Protect Journalists lists at least 189 journalists and media workers killed in Gaza (CPJ public dataset, Gaza tab; retrieved August 25, 2025, 10:30 a.m. EDT). CPJ has determined 26 journalist and media-worker killings to be deliberate “murders” by Israeli forces, in cases documented in Gaza and southern Lebanon, and is investigating at least 20 additional cases that show signs of possible targeting. Journalists in Gaza continue to report under the declared “complete siege” (announced on October 9, 2023).
We recall: UN Security Council Resolutions 1738 (2006) and 2222 (2015) on the protection of journalists in situations of armed conflict, which condemn attacks on the press, reaffirm journalists’ civilian status, and call on States to end impunity and prosecute those responsible for serious violations.
