Israel's Supreme Court Rejects Foreign Journalists' Appeal for Independent Access to Gaza
(AFP-Times of Israel) Israel's Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal by the Foreign Press Association in Jerusalem to allow independent access for journalists to war-torn Gaza.

Foreign and Israeli journalists have been allowed limited access to Gaza under Israeli military escort.
