After Hamas accepted new ceasefire terms to release half of the hostages, Israel has shifted conditions, demanding the release of all 50 remaining captives.

U.S Democrats Clash With Rubio Over Israel’s Bombardment On Journalists | Gaza War Latest

Seventeen U.S. Senate Democrats, led by a Jewish senator, are demanding accountability from Secretary of State Marco Rubio after a deadly Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed six journalists, including prominent Al Jazeera reporter Anas al-Sharif. Lawmakers called the strike part of Israel’s “systematic targeting of journalists,” accusing the Israeli government of silencing media voices exposing Gaza’s devastation. In their letter, the senators urged Rubio to press Israel for transparency, citing violations of international law and warning of risks to U.S. credibility and national security. Israel has claimed al-Sharif was tied to Hamas, but has offered no compelling evidence. The senators argue that targeting journalists is unacceptable and have demanded greater media access inside Gaza. The call underscores rising political pressure in Washington over Israel’s conduct in the war and its treatment of reporters covering one of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones. #Israel #Gaza #Journalists #PressFreedom #MarcoRubio #Democrats #USPolitics #HumanRights #MediaFreedom #AlJazeera #AnasAlSharif #MiddleEast #IDF #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw #FreePress #Washington #Accountability #StopTargetingJournalists #GlobalNews
