Last week, Human Rights Watch reported that the Israeli strike on Abdallah and the others appeared to be deliberate, based on images from the scene, as well as interviews with witnesses. Reuters also released an investigation of the attack finding that an Israeli tank fired twice on the group of journalists and demanding answers about what occurred. (H.R.W., and a third report, from Amnesty International, called for the killing to be investigated as a war crime.) Israel denies targeting journalists, but said it was investigating the incident.
During our conversation, which has been edited for length and clarity, we discussed why the conditions in Gaza have been deadly for media workers, how Israel has addressed the killing of journalists by its military before October 7th, and whether the Biden Administration is taking concerns about the deaths of journalists in war zones seriously.
