It is absolutely farcical to try to peddle the view that foreign journalists are not entering Gaza because it’s ‘dangerous’. International journalists have been delib blocked from entering #Gaza by primarily #Israel who doesnt want them seeing the war crimes 🧵
Aided and abetted by #Egypt who refuse to let them enter through Rafah Crossing plus every other country with influence such as USA and UK who’re not kicking up an almighty fuss about the denial of independent access 🧵
Meanwhile every single Gazan journalist is being hounded and hunted and struggling to stay alive, eat, clean themselves whilst seeing family, friends and colleagues killed, lose their homes or suffer terrible deprivation. Embeds with IDF simply do not count imo 🧵
The notion that foreign journalists are either not trying hard enough or don’t want to or are scared of the risk is utterly ridiculous. There’s a queue of foreign journalists from every country on the planet wanting to get in. We are being blocked.
