- U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has highlighted a 'gap' between Israel's stated goal of protecting civilians and the reality on the ground, as civilian casualties continue to rise.
- Journalists covering the conflict have faced significant dangers, with at least 63 journalists and media workers killed over the course of the war, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
- Israel has denied journalists access to Gaza, citing safety concerns, leading to difficulties in delivering independent reporting and providing a critical check on wartime propaganda.
