“Israel assassinated a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist, a young man who had suddenly become the face and voice of the desperate people of his homeland, Gaza…The military made no attempt to obscure this brazen strike on civilians, which is a war crime.” https://t.co/yqUWF5v8BO
With more than 60,000 people confirmed dead, and with thousands of children malnourished, the West’s do-nothing posture toward the war in Gaza is a form of complicity, writes former Turkish President @cbabdullahgul. https://t.co/9UK6VzhdTG
"Ahead of the planned invasion of Gaza City, killing Anas Al-Sharif is the latest step in Israel's campaign to erase Gaza's witnesses and prevent accountability," @muhammadshehad2 writes in @972mag. https://t.co/bYQ6XwNtn1
The ongoing conflict in Gaza has resulted in a high number of casualties, including the deliberate targeting and killing of journalists by Israeli forces. Journalists in Gaza, such as Al-Jazeera's Anas Al-Sharif, who have been reporting on the situation and documenting atrocities, have been specifically targeted to silence Palestinian-led journalism and control the narrative. This campaign against journalists is seen as an effort to prevent the world from receiving truthful accounts of the conflict. The war in Gaza is described as one of the deadliest for journalists in decades. Anas Al-Sharif, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and a prominent voice for Gaza's people, was assassinated ahead of a planned invasion of Gaza City, an act characterized as a war crime. The conflict has resulted in over 60,000 confirmed deaths and widespread malnutrition among children. Critics argue that the international community's inaction constitutes complicity in the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
