"Every journalist in the world needs to stand up and show their solidarity. If this was a white or Western journalist, this video would be all over our screens. @PalestineTV journalist Mohammad Abu Hattab was killed with his family in an Israeli airstrike. His colleague @salmanalbashir removes his protective gear marked PRESS on air saying: “We can’t take it anymore, we are exhausted. We are victims. The only difference between us is the time of death. We are killed one after another. And no one cares about the catastrophe or the crime that we endure in #Gaza. No protection for anyone or anything. This gear and helmet do not protect any journalist, they are just empty slogans. We are victims, live on air. We are victims awaiting our turn to be killed. Mohammad was here half an hour ago (reporting). Now he lies dead with 10 of his closest family members in this same hospital.” #Israel has targeted and killed at least 34 journalists since October 7 targeting them and their families. When will the impunity for Israel's crimes of genocide, apartheid and ethnic-cleansing end? THIS IS DIABOLICAL. … How will we forgive the world for this collective dehumanization? For this obscene carte blanche for genocide engineered by the USA?"

Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, condemned the killing. Called for a thorough and transparent investigation. Stressed the need for all parties to respect UN Security Council Resolution 2222 (2015), which protects journalists and media professionals in conflict situations.

Killed by Israel: “Colleague journalist Mohammed Abu Hatab was on the air on the nine o'clock broadcast and returned to see his children before returning to Nasser Hospital to be on the midnight broadcast. Mohammad returned to Nasser Hospital, but as a martyr, and it will be broadcast at midnight, but as news and not as a Palestine TV correspondent. With blood we write for Palestine.”
