Turkey says Gaza hospital strike ‘attack on press freedom’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTurkey’s presidential communications office on Monday says Israel’s strikes on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital are “an attack on press freedom and another war crime,” after officials in the Strip’s Hamas-controlled administration report 20 people killed, including five journalists.
“Israel, which continues its atrocities without regard for any humanitarian or legal principles, is under the illusion that it can prevent the truth from being revealed through its systematic attacks on journalists,” Burhanettin Duran, head of the communications directorate, says in a post on X.
Reporters Without Borders rates press freedom in Turkey 159th out of 180 countries polled.
