نحن الموقعون أدناه، نطالب بمنح وسائل الإعلام الدولية وصو الً فورياا، مستق الا، غير مقيّد، إلى غزة، كما ضمان الحماية الكاملة للصحفيين الذين يواصلون عملهم تحت الحصار.

على مدار عشرين شهرًا، ترفض السلطات الإسرائيلية منح الصحفيين من خارج غزة إمكانية الوصول المستقل إلى الأراضي الفلسطينية - وهو وضع غير مسبوق في تاريخ الحروب الحديثة. يواجه الصحفيون المحليون، وهم الأقدر على نقل الحقيقة، النزوح والجوع. حتى اليوم، قُتل ما يقرب من 200 صحفي على يد الجيش الإسرائيلي وأصيب كثيرون آخرون، كما يواجهون تهديدات مستمرة لحياتهم بسبب قيامهم بعملهم: تقديم شهادات على ما يحدث. يعدّ كل هذا اعتداءً مباشرًا على حرية الصحافة والحق في الحصول على المعلومات.

ندرك تمامًا المخاطر الكامنة في التغطية الإعلامية من مناطق الحرب، وهي مخاطر تحمّلتها العديد من مؤسساتنا على مدى عقود من أجل إنجاز التحقيقات، وتوثيق الأحداث فور وقوعها، وفهم آثار الحرب.

في هذه اللحظة المحورية، ومع تجدد العمليات العسكرية والجهود المبذولة لسًتئناف تدفق المساعدات الإنسانية إلى غزة، من الضروري أن تقوم إسرائيل بفتح حدود غزة أمام الصحفيين الدوليين ليتمكنوا من التغطية بحرية، وأن تلتزم إسرائيل بواجباتها الدولية في حماية الصحفيين بصفتهم مدنيين.

ندعو قادة العالم والحكومات والمؤسسات الدولية إلى التحرك فورًا لضمان ذلك.
