More than 100 media workers, news outlets and press freedom groups are calling on U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to immediately stop arming Israel. Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza has killed at least 160 journalists since October 7, the largest death toll of media workers in any conflict including World War II. Journalists, including Pulitzer Prize winners Laura Poitras and Spencer Ackerman, along with groups including the Courage Foundation, Defending Rights & Dissent and Roots Action, write in a joint letter, “Israel’s deliberate targeting of these journalists seems intended to impose a near blackout on coverage of its assault on Gaza. … By providing the weapons being used to deliberately kill journalists, you are complicit in one of the gravest affronts to press freedom today.”
