Afghan Voice Agency (AVA)-Monitoring: Lolwah Al Khater, while addressing the opening of the 53rd session of the Arab Human Rights Committee of the Arab League in Doha, said Israel has set a record in targeting journalists and killing them.
The Tel Aviv regime has killed a journalist almost every day, Khater was quoted by the Palestinian news agency, Sama.
“The international community is still silent over the killings of the Zionist occupation in Gaza and the occupiers continue to commit crimes and massacre people”, she underlined.
The Zionist regime has killed 131 journalists in the attack on Gaza in the last five months.
Referring to the ongoing massacre of children in Gaza, the Qatari minister stated that the war on Gaza has revealed the double standards of the West to the whole world.
“The Israeli army has violated all human rights laws, conventions and charters of the United Nations”, Al Khater added.
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, the Palestinian victims account for nearly 75 percent of all journalists killed worldwide in 2023.
Killings of reporters would have dropped globally year-on-year had it not been for the deaths in the ongoing war on Gaza, the CPJ said in its annual report released last week./IRNA
