Gaza! We will come
Israel on Tuesday maintained a ban on journalists entering the Gaza Strip to cover the war which has left at least 580 Palestinians including more than 100 children dead and 2,500 injured.
International media cover the war through Palestinian reporters based in Gaza.
The Foreign Press Association (FPA) made a strong protest over the ban, AFP reported.
Israel's Supreme Court ordered the government on Friday to allow foreign reporters into the Gaza Strip and eight names were chosen for the first group to go in.
"The unprecedented denial of access to Gaza for the world's media amounts to a severe violation of press freedom and puts the state of Israel in the company of a handful of regimes around the world which regularly keep journalists from doing their jobs," said
an FPA statement.
