to the Commission
Rule 117
Salvador Sedó i Alabart (PPE)

There is an immediate, urgent need to foster reconciliation and coexistence between the Palestinian and Israeli peoples.

The media can and should act as a catalyst for raising awareness of the situation. However, they are having great difficulty performing the tasks that should be safeguarded by freedom of expression and the right to inform.

What does the Commission intend to do about the fact that journalists are being executed and reporters in the Gaza Strip are being sentenced to death simply for doing their job of keeping people informed of developments in the region?
