The Associated Press and Reuters issued a joint demand on Sept. 25, 2025, asking the Israeli government to explain an August strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, that killed five journalists and 17 others. The agencies — through editors Alessandra Galloni and Julie Pace — called for accountability and concrete steps to protect press workers covering the Gaza war; the Israeli military says it has opened an investigation but has not responded to the agencies' requests.
