Headline: “House Dems Push Biden to Fight for Global Media Access to Gaza”

Subhead: “It is imperative that the United States urge Israel to allow independent access for U.S. and international journalists, in the interest of transparency, accountability, and the fundamental principle of press freedom.”

“Over five dozen Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives on Monday urged the Biden administration to “take immediate action to advocate for unrestricted, independent media access” to the Gaza Strip, where Israeli forces have killed at least 42,603 people and injured another 99,795 since last October.

“It is imperative that the United States urge Israel to allow independent access for U.S. and international journalists, in the interest of transparency, accountability, and the fundamental principle of press freedom,” the lawmakers—led by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.)— wrote to President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.”
