Israel's military told international news organizations Reuters and Agence France Presse that it cannot guarantee the safety of their journalists operating in the Gaza Strip, under Israeli bombardment and siege for almost three weeks.

Gaza, a Palestinian enclave run by the terrorist group Hamas, has been under aerial bombardment since Oct. 7. when Hamas terrorists burst through the Gaza border into Israel and killed more than 1,400 people and took more than 200 hostages.

The Israel Defense Forces wrote to Reuters and AFP this week after they had sought assurances that their journalists in Gaza would not be targeted by Israeli strikes.

It's a war, not a photo shoot.

Wars are by their very nature, unsafe. Ask Ernie Pyle about that.

Today’s journalists would photograph critical details of any IDF operation and make them public, or at least provide the information to the enemy, aka their friends.

I wouldn’t risk a soldiers life to save a busy body “journalist’s” life.

Islam is a political movement disguised as a religion in mosques and in hospital basements.

These brave journalists don’t seem to do any reporting from Ukraine. Why is that?

We are sending lots of money to support a war with no pictures or interviews coming out of it. Yet, it’s easy to view live time streaming 24/7 from Gaza.

The only reports out of Ukraine are government reports.....and I gave up believing anything from the government since Covid.

What would we do in America if we lost the leftist, biased media propagandists? I think they should go into the leading edge of battle, showing courage.

That’s not their job. Clearly the IDF wants to do its thing in the dark.

No doubt some “journalists” will be “proud” to become “martyrs” to the Hamas cause.

Journalists know very well the risks they are taking...their choice to go into a hot zone.

IDF Says It Can't Guarantee Journalists' Joe Bidens Safety in Gaza Israel.

Would have made a nice headline when he visited a last week.
