UN denounces settler attacks on civilians, journalists in West Bank
Commenting on the incidents, UN spokesperson Farhan Haq told a press briefing: "We condemn the settler attacks. And of course, we're opposed to all attacks on journalists everywhere in the world."
Reports indicate that among the journalists targeted were Reuters reporter Raneen Sawafta and two Al Jazeera journalists, according to local sources.
Addressing Israel’s ongoing restrictions on international media access to the Gaza Strip, Haq emphasized: "We have never thought that there is a justification for blocking journalists, not in Gaza, not anywhere."
He added: "We believe that journalists need to be free to go about their work," underscoring the UN’s call for unrestricted media access and protection for reporters in conflict zones.
