Palestinian Journalists Syndicate

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) is an organization focused on the rights and safety of journalists in Palestine. It monitors press freedom violations and reports on the impact of conflict on media professionals. The PJS is newsworthy due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza and its impact on journalists. Recent reports from the PJS indicate a significant number of journalist casualties and the deaths of family members of Palestinian journalists. Specifically, the PJS reported that over 700 relatives of Palestinian journalists have been killed by Israeli forces since October 2023. The organization has accused Israel of using collective punishment to suppress reporting from Gaza. The recent deaths of three journalists in an Israeli strike further highlight the dangers faced by media personnel in the region and underscore the PJS's role in documenting and advocating for their protection.
