The Foreign Press Association in Israel has asked the court to expedite a decision on allowing the international media to enter Gaza independently.
Israel has banned foreign journalists from entering Gaza independently since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack. The FPA filed a petition seeking entry in September 2024, but the Israeli government has repeatedly delayed the proceedings.
“The never-ending delays have made a mockery of the legal process,” said the FPA’s chairwoman, Tania Kraemer. “It is time for the justices to put an end to this once and for all.”
The FPA represents dozens of international news outlets, including The Associated Press. The Committee to Protect Journalists, Union of Journalists in Israel and Reporters without Borders have joined the case as amicus partners.
