The Murders of Journalists in Gaza Continue During the War

• Guterres has called for an investigation into the murders of journalists.
• In Gaza, over 240 journalists have been killed since the beginning of the war.
• Australia is preparing to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN.

The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the killing of six Palestinian journalists, who became victims of Israeli airstrikes in Gaza on September 11, 2025. He called for an "independent and impartial" investigation into these incidents, emphasizing that since the beginning of the war in Gaza, over 240 journalists have been killed.

Guterres also stated that journalists and staff of UNRWA must be protected and may have the opportunity to carry out their work without fear of persecution or violence. These incidents are occurring against the backdrop of Australia's preparations to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September, which has drawn criticism from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

This situation demonstrates serious risks that journalists face during conflict in the region.
