Foreign press group says Israel delaying entry of journalists to Gaza
The Foreign Press association is calling on the Israeli government to ensure the free passage of journalists in and out of the Gaza Strip, saying the “ongoing delays” at the Erez crossing were illegal.
In a statement, the press group says that delaying entry to journalists through the Erez crossing was in violation of a 2009 Supreme Court ruling on the matter.
“The FPA demands the immediate opening of the Erez crossing for the passage of accredited foreign journalists in both directions,” the statement says.
