U.S. Media Pressure Mounts as Gaza Crisis Deepens and Allies Recognize Palestinian State

Critics warn new White House threats and Pentagon rules risk chilling scrutiny during a volatile phase for Gaza and regional diplomacy.

Overview

  • President Donald Trump suggested revoking licenses of TV networks he says attack him, as ABC paused Jimmy Kimmel’s show after FCC chair Brendan Carr threatened regulatory action.
  • The FCC licenses local stations rather than national networks and says it does not police program content, a constraint that would complicate any broad license revocations.
  • The Washington Post reported the Pentagon will require reporters to pledge not to collect even unclassified information without authorization, with press credentials subject to revocation for violations, following months of tightened access.
  • UNRWA said 1.9 million people are displaced in Gaza, with local reports of dozens killed in new Israeli strikes and continued ground operations centered on Gaza City.
  • Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom announced recognition of a Palestinian state, drawing pushback from Israeli leaders as Netanyahu noted only “some progress” in Israel–Syria talks that sources say still face significant gaps before any UNGA‑timed deal.
