Canada joins call to protect Gaza journalists, allow foreign media
Canada has joined a multi-country statement demanding that Israel stop banning foreign journalists from entering Gaza and protect local journalists in Palestinian territories.
Canada was not part of 27 countries calling for independent foreign media access into Gaza.
The demand for journalist protection followed the condemnation of Israel for killing journalist Anas Al-Sharif.
Canada is a co-founder of the Media Freedom Coalition and has signed multiple statements on media issues since 2020.
