The Foreign Press Association in Israel (FPA) welcomed the agreement to end the war in Gaza and called for allowing journalists "immediate access to Gaza." "With the cessation of hostilities, we renew our urgent call for Israel to immediately open the borders and allow international media free and independent access to the Gaza Strip," the statement said. The statement also noted that "on October 23, the Supreme Court is finally expected to hear our arguments, after more than a year in which the state has been allowed to delay its response. Restrictions on press freedom must end."
