Israel’s Supreme Court has once again granted the Israeli government’s request for an extension in responding to our request for full, unhindered access to Gaza. This is the ninth such delay since we filed our petition in September 2024.

This situation is beyond absurd. We are dismayed that the government keeps stalling, and deeply disappointed that the court continues to allow this. These repeated delays have robbed the world of a fuller glimpse of conditions in Gaza and made a mockery of the entire legal process.

Despite this, we remain committed to making our case for the right to information of our audiences worldwide, including Israelis and Palestinians.
