Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani on Monday condemned what he described as Israel’s “deliberate targeting” of journalists in the Gaza Strip, saying the attacks fail to conceal the scale of atrocities committed during the conflict. Germany’s government issued a separate statement the same day, strongly denouncing the targeting of media workers in Gaza and calling for a comprehensive investigation into the incident. The coordinated diplomatic criticism adds to mounting international concern over the safety of journalists covering the war in Gaza, where fighting between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants has intensified.
