Here we go, you made this claim:
"Nor does the IDF have any roll in protecting anyone beyond Israel’s boarders."
You are wrong as I said in my post, of course it does. That is the fact, your claim is false. Do you admit that?
As for journalists:
“We ask that Israel uphold its commitments to press freedom by providing foreign media with immediate, independent access to Gaza, and that Israel abides by its international obligations to protect journalists as civilians.”
