The United Nations Security Council has been urged to not turn a blind eye to Israel’s attacks on press freedom, including the targeting of journalists and closure of Al Jazeera’s bureaus, during its war on Gaza.
“[There are] 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.
