Mohamed ElMasry, media studies professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, says he is “at a loss for words” over Israel’s latest deadly attack on journalists in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

“Israel has been at war with journalism and journalists from the very beginning of the war,” ElMasry said. “They’re not hiding it. They’re very open about this.“

“But the question that I have is where are the international journalists? Where is The New York Times? Where is CNN? Where are the major mainstream Western news outlets?“
