International newspapers and news sites - in their coverage of the repercussions of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip - focused on Israel's targeting of journalists in the Gaza Strip, and on the increasing international pressure on it to stop its aggression and not escalate in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
The British newspaper "Financial Times" called on countries around the world to intensify their pressure on Israel and Egypt to allow international media access to the Gaza Strip, and to put pressure on all parties to the conflict to protect journalists as civilians, and to remind them that "deliberately targeting journalists is a war crime."
The newspaper stated in its editorial that the number of media workers who were killed in the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip is more than the number recorded in any other country in one year.
Yesterday, Tuesday, Al Jazeera correspondent Ismail Abu Omar and photographer Ahmed Matar were subjected to an Israeli drone bombardment during their press coverage in the Qizan al-Najjar area in the southern Gaza Strip, which led immediately to the amputation of the Al Jazeera correspondent’s right leg, while the photographer was seriously injured.
For its part, Al-Monitor focused on the increasing international pressure on Israel to agree to a ceasefire in Gaza and not escalate in Rafah, stressing that the list of pressurers expanded in conjunction with the ongoing talks in Cairo.

The Wall Street Journal quoted informed officials as saying, “Israel and the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) disagree regarding the duration of the ceasefire, which Israel wants to be temporary, while Hamas wants it to lead to a permanent truce.”
The newspaper says that the Israeli government's decision to send a team to talks yesterday, Tuesday, in Cairo came after US President Joe Biden increased pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call last Sunday.
It is noteworthy that the American website "Axios" quoted an Israeli source that the Cairo talks between Israel, the United States, Qatar and Egypt regarding an exchange deal between Israel and Hamas ended without achieving tangible progress.
On another topic, Renaud Girard wrote in the French newspaper Le Figaro that “Israel must realize that it has unintentionally united the entire Arab-Islamic world against it,” indicating that the two-state solution is the only viable solution in the long term.
