I’m delighted to have been asked to sign this important petition calling on Israel and Egypt for foreign media access to Gaza, to support efforts by Israel’s Foreign Press Association. This is a distinguished listing of British Jewish journalists. I am not British, but happy to be so for the moment. It’s critical to get accurate news reporting, not dependent on Hamas or any outside forces, from the war-torn Gaza Strip.
