A decision by Israel’s top court Thursday to delay a ruling on granting foreign journalists immediate access to Gaza angered an international media group representing outlets in Israel and the Palestinian territories.
Since Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, Israeli authorities have prevented foreign journalists from entering the devastated territory, taking only a handful of reporters inside on tightly controlled visits alongside its troops.
The Foreign Press Association (FPA), which represents hundreds of foreign journalists, had filed a petition in the Supreme Court, seeking immediate access for international journalists to Gaza.
The court held its first hearing Thursday.
The State Attorney acknowledged that "the situation has changed" since the Gaza cease-fire but requested a further 30 days to examine the circumstances.
