The Israeli government announced it will reexamine its policy barring journalists from entering Gaza, with an updated report due by Nov. 23, following petitions challenging the restrictions in the Supreme Court.
In a response sent to Israel's Supreme Court, the government said it would reexamine its policy regarding the entry of journalists into Gaza within a month and submit an update on the matter by Nov. 23, Haaretz newspaper said.
The move follows petitions filed with the court against a government ban on the entry of journalists into the Palestinian territory.
The government's response to the court shows that journalists would continue to be banned from entering Gaza except inside the so-called "yellow line" until the policy is updated
The "yellow line" is an imaginary line separating areas currently occupied by the Israeli army in Gaza from those where it had pulled out.
