What Qureshi said at
UN & CNN is tricky largely
RSF has formally asked International Criminal Court chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda to investigate these airstrikes, which we regard as war crimes.
If it is Pro Israeli media these days than why they attack on it? Cold war politics was different but it is post cold war times.
Targeted Israeli airstrikes have destroyed the premises of 23 Palestinian and international media outlets in the Gaza Strip in the past ten days. Those destroyed by last Saturday’s airstrikes include the bureaux of the US news agency, the Associated Press, and the Qatari TV broadcaster Al Jazeera.
The misleading speech of
#SMQ FM in
#UN He neither acknowledged
#China who as president
#UNSC did his best to alive the issue of
#Palestine, Mr Qureshi did not acknowledged members of SC including
#UK,
#France,
#Russia & others who consistently voted for immediate ceasefire against
#US three vetos. Poor Qureshi had criticised UNSC but did not said a single word against the country who veto joint resolution three times. In his speech he mentioned attacks during Ramazan in
#AlAqsa but everyone in
#Pakistan knew that when May 7, last Friday brutality happened he with his PM were busy with
#MBS and his first statement appeared at twitter after 36 hours and next day in joint Pak Saudi statement there was not a single line against that brutality. Even
#OIC remained silent. How can such people represent the country??? He can play sensationalism in Pakistan but at the international forum he cannot make fool others. We have to check ourselves before giving sermons to others. He even criticized international media but it is a fact that after attack on media in
#Gaza things started improving against
#Israel &
#Netanyahu. We witnessed unprecedented world support in favour of ceasefire, that was not there during the infamous
#coldwar but Mr Qureshi did not mention it at all. It was among the bad representations of Pakistan at any international forum.
Qureshi attack the media at a time when few days back Netanyahu's IDF had attacked many international media houses. Reporters without borders questioned Israel attack as war crime. it has claimed that Israeli forces had destroyed 23 media houses in 10 days. #CNN accused him for using anti semitic remarks but it is case of freedom of press. Qureshi used loose tongue, accuse media & blamed Israel for media management. On contrary, he is representative of a party who pressurized media since last three years.

What the Israeli military has claimed, namely that the buildings destroyed in these attacks were legitimate military targets because of an alleged Hamas presence, is completely false from the legal viewpoint because these buildings were also housing civilians, in this case, journalists and their installations and equipment. RSF maintains that, by deliberately destroying media infrastructure, the Israeli military violated Resolution 2222 on the protection of journalists, which the UN Security Council unanimously adopted in May 2015, as well as the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute (applicable to the Palestinian Territories)*.
The Israel Defence Forces are inflicting unacceptable material damage on news organisations and, more broadly, are obstructing media coverage of a conflict that directly affects the civilian population.

RSF asks ICC prosecutor to say whether Israeli airstrikes on media in Gaza constitute war crimes
