PETALING JAYA: A group of veteran Malaysian journalists has condemned the Israeli military’s bombardment on homes, offices and other infrastructure, including one that housed the offices of foreign media such as the Associated Press and Al-Jazeera.
The Group of Eminent Journalists said it was unthinkable that an army could target the offices of media practitioners.
“The Israeli airstrikes destroyed the Al-Jalaa Tower that housed the offices of several media organisations.
“All these actions are planned, which started with the eviction of a number of Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarra neighbourhood, the right-wing mob attacks against Palestinians, the attacks against worshippers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the strikes against targets in Palestine, ” the group said in a statement yesterday.

PETALING JAYA: Israel may be amassing its army for an incursion into Gaza, a group of senior journalists in Malaysia said today.
Saying that the move would further inflame the situation, the group called for the atrocities perpetrated by the Israeli military to stop immediately.
“The rising tension amidst the current Covid-19 pandemic is totally unnecessary,” it said in a statement today.
