[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

Reuters and the Associated Press have formally written to Israeli officials demanding answers over the airstrikes in Gaza that killed five journalists:

“Dear Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz, Chief of the General Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, Foreign Minister Gideon Saar and Director of the Government Press Office Nitzan Chen:  

We are writing to demand a clear explanation for the airstrikes that hit Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis on Aug. 25, 2025, killing several journalists, including those working for the Associated Press and Reuters. Freelance visual journalists Mariam Dagga and Moaz Abu Taha had worked for AP and Reuters, respectively, as well other outlets during the war.  Cameraman Hussam al-Masri was a contractor for Reuters.  Photographer Hatem Khaled, who is also a contractor for Reuters, was wounded.  
  
We are outraged that independent journalists were among the victims of this strike on the hospital, a location that is protected under international law. These journalists were present in their professional capacity, doing critical work bearing witness. Their work is especially vital in light of Israel’s nearly two-year ban on foreign journalists entering Gaza.  

The Israel Defense Forces has acknowledged conducting the strikes and says it is investigating. In a statement, the IDF said it “does not target journalists as such.”

Unfortunately, we have found the IDF's willingness and ability to investigate itself in past incidents to rarely result in clarity and action, raising serious questions including whether Israel is deliberately targeting live feeds in order to suppress information.  

We hope this probe will be quick, thorough and provide clear answers. These deaths demand urgent and transparent accountability.  

The IDF has a duty under international law to protect journalists and civilians and to take all feasible precautions to prevent harm. Striking a hospital, followed by a second strike while journalists and rescuers were responding, raises urgent questions about whether these obligations were upheld. In all, the Committee to Protect Journalists says 197 journalists and media workers have been killed in the region since Oct. 7, 2023, 189 of them Palestinian. 

We are doing everything we can to keep our journalists in Gaza safe as they continue to deliver crucial eyewitness reporting under extremely dangerous conditions.  

We once again urge Israeli authorities to allow independent journalists safe, unimpeded access into and out of Gaza, and to uphold their obligations to ensure press freedom and protection.  

We are available to discuss this further and reiterate our call for a full and transparent accounting of what occurred.  

Sincerely,

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

NEW: @RepRashida and I are introducing bills in the House to block Trump from selling new offensive weapons to Israel, an effort @SenSanders is leading in the Senate.

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

Reps. Rashida Tlaib & Pramila Jayapal are leading resolutions to block $8.56 billion of new US weapons transfers to Israel.

The resolutions are House companions to the Senate ones led by Bernie Sanders to block the transfers.

Here are the 15 members of Congress signed on:

@maggiej464748 @atrupar I see where you’re going with this but maybe leave Puerto Rico out of it - they’ve suffered enough under American imperialism. I’m sure we can think of somewhere more fitting for him ;)

@Mae_DayJ @GoodVibePolitik Vegan here to remind folks that plant proteins are awesome but NOT ACCESSIBLE TO ALL. Animal ag is a horror born out of capitalism & white supremacy which relies on exploitation of human/nonhuman animals, the earth, etc Vegan grandstanding misses the point.

@Rohanburdened @waynehhsiung Just boosting this comment about JFK’s deadly and inaccurate opinions on health

[hannah zellman (she/her) @zellman]

@waynehhsiung Fellow vegan here & I’m horrified by this take. He may have views we can align with on animal ag, but he ALSO spreads dangerous health misinformation & rebukes science. Veganism should be intersectional, but this tweet dismisses countless real harms his policies would create.

I recognize and appreciate the importance of this report. At the same time, it likely won't change anyone's minds. If 14 months of obvious genocide hasn't persuaded you, nothing likely will.

ARMS EMBARGO NOW

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Amnesty International’s new landmark report concludes that Israeli authorities have committed – and still are committing - genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.

Full report, out now.

[hannah zellman (she/her) @zellman]

@SecBlinken What an outrageous thing to write while directly funding a genocide and cracking down on civil society and media who dare to point that out.

[hannah zellman (she/her) @zellman]

@SecBlinken @gidonsaar Funny, your actions suggest that you’re emphasizing the importance of American tax dollars and weapons being used to commit a genocide. Just me?

[AIPAC Tracker @TrackAIPAC]

THANK YOU to the 19 senators who took a stand for human rights by voting to block arms sales to Israel!

The American people are with you!

Standing against genocide is good policy and good politics!
