'The targeted Israeli attack on the prominent Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif and several of his colleagues in Gaza City is outrageous and completely unacceptable', said Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide.
'Over 200 journalists and media workers have already been killed in Gaza, making Gaza the most dangerous place in the world to be a reporter. Journalists play a crucial role in gathering and sharing information during armed conflicts and must be given special protection. They have done an especially important job in Gaza, where Israel denies international journalists access. This makes them the eyes of the entire world. When journalists are deliberately attacked, it is not only an attack on them directly, but on freedom of expression itself', Mr. Eide said.
