"TV Host Piers Morgan Denounces Gaza Media Restrictions as a 'Shameful Act'"
British Broadcaster Piers Morgan Urges Israel to Allow Access for International Journalists
At the Arab Media Summit 2025, British media personality Piers Morgan criticized the Israeli government for restricting international journalists' access to Gaza. The renowned TV presenter, journalist, and host of the show 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' stated that such a ban is a disgrace and prevents the world from verifying Israel's claims about its actions.
During a session on the third day of the conference, Morgan labeled the recent aid blockade and bombardment in Gaza as "ferocious," suggesting it had exceeded acceptable limits. He emphasized the need for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to permit foreign journalists entry into the strip, asserting that the restrictions are used as a pretense for protecting safety.
Morgan's stance on the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict has evolved, moving from perceived pro-Israel sentiments to a more critical outlook. He has questioned the Palestinian people's dire humanitarian situation, particularly the lack of food, medicine, and basic medical equipment, primarily due to the Israeli blockade. At least 181 media personnel have died since October 7, 2023, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, and Morgan urges Israel to let international journalists enter to establish whether their claims about their actions are accurate.
Meanwhile, European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen denounced Israel's deadly strikes on civilian facilities in Gaza, including a school, on Tuesday. Rescuers reported that Israeli strikes killed at least 52 people in the Gaza Strip on Monday, including 33 individuals in a shelter converted from a school, triggering international condemnation. The World Health Organization stated that the Gaza Strip's majority medical equipment supplies had depleted, while 42% of basic medicines, including painkillers, were out of stock.
The Israeli blockade, initiated on March 2, 2025, has prevented essential supplies such as food and medicine from entering the Gaza Strip for 11 consecutive weeks. According to reports, 57 children have died from malnutrition, with thousands more at risk of famine, starvation, and death.
