 Dozens of reporters and representatives of media outlets in the West Bank city of Bethlehem protesting on Monday in front of the Church of Nativity against attacks carried by the Executive Force members against protesters in the Gaza Strip.
The protesters stated that the Hamas-formed Executive Force attacks reporters during a protest carried by the residents in Gaza last Friday. The protesters carried signs slamming the attacks and calling on Hamas to respect the freedom of expression and the freedom of press in the Gaza Strip. Secretary-general of the reporters union, Sa’id Ayyad, stated during the protest that “it is unfortunate to see these attacks against the reporters especially since we as reporters are facing ongoing attacks by Israeli occupation forces against us”. Cameraman Mousa Al Sha’er, member of the Administrative Committee of the Media Cameramen Committee, stated that these attacks against the reporters are considered crimes against those people who sacrifice their lives to reveal the truth, and that the Executive Force attacks are totally rejected not only by the reporters, but also by the Palestinian people. Fateh legislator, Fayiz Al Saqqa, stated that the reporters have an important role in defending the Palestinian people, their cause and country, and called on all factions and institutions in Gaza to protest against these attacks.
