T8. As a member of the National Union of Journalists parliamentary group, I know it is vital to protect journalists. Sadly, hundreds of Palestinian journalists have been slaughtered during the Gazan genocide. As Britain is the co-chair of the Media Freedom Coalition, will the Minister explain what steps the Government have taken to safeguard journalists on the ground in the middle east, and can he encourage international Governments, including Israel, to allow the global media to do their job and enable journalists to be protected, not pay the price of war?
