Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has strongly condemned the killing of five Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza, describing the incident as a 'cold-blooded murder' and a 'heinous crime' on Palestinian soil. She praised the journalists for their unwavering commitment to truth, stating that their courage stands in stark contrast to the violence and hatred they faced. The Israeli strike targeted an Al Jazeera journalist, whom Israel accused of being a militant, a claim the network denies. Al Jazeera confirmed the deaths and alleged that Israel is deliberately targeting reporters to silence coverage ahead of a planned offensive in Gaza. The incident has intensified international outrage and renewed scrutiny of the risks faced by journalists in conflict zones.
