War and Journalism in Gaza

• Despite international law protecting journalists in armed conflict, Palestinian journalists and media personnel have been killed in Israel’s war on Gaza.

• Estimates vary, with the American non-profit Committee to Protect Journalists estimating at least 192 deaths, and the UN Human Rights Office at least 242.

• Gaza is the deadliest war in history for journalists, with more killed than in both world wars, the Vietnam war, the wars in Yugoslavia, and the US war in Afghanistan combined.

• The killings of journalists are part of a wider conflict that is taking a wider toll after Israel’s Security Cabinet decided to expand the war and seize control of Gaza City.

• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pressuring on despite his country’s increasing isolation on the world stage.

• The expansion of the war will deepen the misery of a Palestinian population battered by relentless bombings, displacement, disease, malnutrition, and starvation.

• Netanyahu believes that with America’s backing, he can prolong Israel’s war with impunity and ensure his own political survival.

• US President Donald Trump has the leverage to end the bloodshed, and as he heads to Alaska to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump must show the same urgency for peace with Netanyahu.

Gaza War Reporting is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
