News - Middle East: Israel has killed another Palestinian journalist in the besieged Gaza Strip, bringing the death toll to at least 204 since October 2023.  

Gaza's Government Media Office said in a statement on Tuesday that Mohammed al-Talmas succumbed to injuries sustained in an Israeli bombardment of the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City.

It said Talmas was an employee of the Safa news agency. 

“We call on the International Federation of Journalists, the Federation of Arab Journalists, and all journalistic bodies in all countries of the world to condemn these systematic crimes against Palestinian journalists and media professionals in the Gaza Strip,” the statement read.

The office called on the International Federation of Journalists, the Arab Journalists Union, and media organizations worldwide to denounce the regime for its crimes against journalists and the press in Gaza.

The statement highlighted the urgent need for global attention to the systematic suppression of freedom of the press by Israeli forces in the besieged Palestinian territory. 

The statement also held the US and other Western countries involved in the Israeli campaign of genocide fully responsible for the deliberate targeting of journalists.
