Israel has barred a Radio France Internationale (RFI) journalist from entering the West Bank, escalating pressure on foreign press coverage. The expulsion of reporter Alice Froussard comes as violence surges in the occupied territory.
The move follows a total closure of the Gaza Strip to international media. Since the attack of October 7, 2023, more than 260 Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza, according to local reports.
