Israel Accused of Killing More Journalists Than Any Country Worldwide
A media watchdog group alleges that Israel is responsible for the deaths of 84 out of 129 journalists killed globally in 2025, making it the deadliest country for reporters.
A new report from the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has leveled a shocking allegation against Israel - that the country is responsible for the deaths of more journalists than any other nation on record. According to the CPJ's data, Israel was behind 84 of the 129 journalist killings tracked globally in 2025.
This startling statistic paints a grim picture of the dangers faced by members of the press operating in the region. The CPJ, an influential media watchdog group, has long documented the risks and threats encountered by journalists, but the group says the scale of the killings in Israel and the Palestinian territories is unprecedented.
