- The OIC held Israel, as the occupying power, responsible for the incident
DUBAI: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned on Tuesday the killing of journalists Anas Al-Sharif and Mohammed Qureiqi, along with several other media professionals, following Israel鈥檚 targeting of a journalists鈥� tent in Gaza City.
In a statement, the OIC described the attack as a violation of international law and a breach of press freedom, noting that 242 journalists have been killed in the occupied Palestinian territory since Oct. 7, 2023.
The organization said these actions form part of what it called systematic violations against the media, aimed at obstructing the flow of information to the global community.
The OIC held Israel, as the occupying power, responsible for the incident and called for an international investigation to hold those responsible accountable.
It also urged relevant international institutions to take urgent measures to prevent the targeting of journalists and ensure their protection in line with international humanitarian law and related conventions.
