Editorial: Le Monde

• A democracy is assessed by various criteria, including respect for the freedom to inform, which is not being upheld by Israel in its dealings with Palestinian and international media in Gaza.
• Despite official denials by Israel, there is evidence of ongoing aggression towards the press, tied to a series of deaths and violence that endanger journalists.
• Israel has imposed an information blockade in Gaza, limiting access to international journalists and systematically targeting media representatives.
• Israel's strategy of silencing the press is coupled with a widespread denial at a national level.

Conclusion: Israel's attacks on the press and the restriction of information in Gaza are elements that threaten the quality of democracy and the free flow of information, aspects that should be condemned and corrected to uphold the integrity of journalism and democratic principles.
