The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate called for independent international investigations into journalist killings and attacks, and for the International Criminal Court to disclose action on submitted complaints, WAFA reported on 2 November 2026. It also urged journalist organisations to pursue national-court cases. These are union demands marking the day against impunity, not an announcement of a new judgment or court-confirmed action. وكالة الأنباء والمعلومات الفلسطينية — WAFA

Context and what it means

The ICRC explains that journalists are generally civilians, protected while they do not directly participate in hostilities. Identifying a journalist also concerns the nature of gathering, preparing and reporting information, rather than formal accreditation alone. This is general legal context for protecting media work; responsibility for a particular incident still requires examination of its evidence and specific circumstances.
