Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced a plan to allow more foreign journalists to report inside Gaza with the military, as he laid out his vision for victory in the territory during a rare press conference, AFP reports.

“We have decided and have ordered, directed the military to bring in foreign journalists, more foreign journalists, a lot,” Netanyahu said during the press conference. “There’s a problem with assuring security, but I think it can be done in a way that is responsible and careful to preserve your own safety.”

The premier, however, did not provide specifics on the plan.

Global press outlets have long relied on local journalists on the ground in Gaza to provide reporting and footage from the conflict.
