‘Israel’ says it will bar journalists from entering Gaza after Rafah crossing opens

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, Jan, 27 (YPA) – The Israeli occupation government stated that it will not allow foreign journalists to enter Gaza, even after the reopening of the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza.

This came during a court hearing regarding a petition filed by the Foreign Press Association in Israel (FPA) demanding that journalists be allowed to enter the Gaza Strip. The judges decided to postpone ruling on the case until a later date.

The Haaretz newspaper reported that the Israeli government representative informed the Supreme Court (the highest judicial body) that foreign journalists would not be permitted to enter Gaza due to security risks.

The court discussed the FPA’s petition on Monday, which called for allowing journalists to enter the Gaza Strip.
