Israeli attacks against journalists, media freedom decried at UNSC

Al Jazeera  

Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu says attacks are meant to prevent the world from knowing what is happening in Gaza. “ journalists from Palestine, Lebanon and Al Jazeera who Israel has killed or closed their offices while they risk everything to ensure we don’t all return to a world where children and babies die in silence, perish in darkness,” Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu told the 15-member body on Wednesday. The veto continues to enable the massacre of innocent people.” Calls for accountability Muizzu’s speech echoed his address at the UN General Assembly the previous day, during which he said Israel was attempting to cover up its crimes by targeting Palestinian and Lebanese journalists, including by closing Al Jazeera offices. “Israel must be held accountable for these acts of terrorism, for these violations of international law and UN resolutions.” Al Jazeera has been providing extensive coverage of Israel’s nearly year-long war on Gaza, which has killed more than 41,400 Palestinians, and of a parallel surge in violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. The Israeli army accused Al Jazeera of incitement and supporting “terrorism” and claimed “the channel’s broadcasts endanger the security and public order in both the area and the State of Israel as a whole”.
