Israel’s Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli tweeted that “Alice Froussard, a French journalist who supports Hamas, and says that the massacre on October 7 should be seen ‘as such’, is leaving Ben Gurion Airport to return to Paris”.

The ban on the reporter highlighted Israel’s long-standing commitment oppression international coverage of the siege of Gaza and the invasion of Lebanon. While journalists from around the world were banned from reporting from the Palestinian territories, Many local journalists have been killed in the conflict that began following the attacks led by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

The Foreign Press Association has criticized Froussard’s support, saying that Israel had already given him permission to travel to the country before he arrived.

“This is not the first case where the Israeli government considers media coverage to be ‘one-sided’,” it said.
