PARIS, May 24, 2025 (WAFA) – Around twenty journalists' associations in France, including those affiliated with France 24, Le Monde, and Radio France Internationale, have called for the evacuation of French journalists and media workers from Gaza.

The letter from the associations read, "We call on the French authorities to do everything possible to enable the evacuation of Gazan journalists, fixers, and drivers working for French media outlets and their families."

The letter, which was posted on social media and the France 24 website, was signed by several associations affiliated with French media outlets, including BFMTV, Le Figaro, Libération, and Mediapart.

French journalists' associations, whose members are elected by their peers, address issues of work ethics and independence.

"Our colleagues and their families are in danger of death today after Benjamin Netanyahu's government announced its intention to take full control of the Gaza Strip," the letter read.

The letter recalled that since the outbreak of the Israeli war on October 7, 2023, "more than 200 of our colleagues in Gaza have been killed, according to figures from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights."
