Palestine now world's most dangerous place for journalists: RSF
- Reporters Without Borders announced on May 5, 2025, that Palestine has become the world's most dangerous place for journalists due to ongoing violence in Gaza and the West Bank.
- The escalation follows a year and a half of war since October 7, 2023, during which Israeli forces have targeted journalists amid a broader military offensive in Gaza.
- Nearly 200 journalists have been killed, with at least 42 dying while reporting, and many face harassment, shelter shortages, and restricted press freedom in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
- RSF reported that Israel seeks to silence coverage by preventing foreign press access and labeling killed journalists as terrorists, while Palestinian authorities also limit expression through cybercrime laws and obstruction.
- These conditions have caused a decline in press freedom rankings and prompted international protests, petitions, and complaints to the International Criminal Court aiming to protect journalists and media plurality.
