Fox News Reporter Trey Yingst Condemns Israel’s ‘Unacceptable’ Killing of More Than 100 Palestinian Journalists

Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst condemned Israel’s killing of more than a hundred Palestinian journalists, calling the death toll “unacceptable” in a documentary this week.

In his Fox Nation documentary Black Saturday, Yingst showed the extent of the destruction in Gaza since the beginning of Israel’s military offensive more than one year ago.

“There are so many neighborhoods that are flattened. Palestinians that are internally displaced will simply have no homes to return to,” he said. “And while we get a firsthand look at the destruction here, it’s important to remember that Palestinian journalists do not have this access. They have been pushed to the south. Dozens have been killed.”

Yingst continued, “There’s this false narrative about Palestinian journalists. More than a hundred of them have been killed by Israel since the war began, and I take very few positions in the conflicts that we cover, but let this be a position that I take. Journalists, specifically Palestinian journalists, must be protected amid the war. The Israelis have killed journalists in drone strikes, they’ve killed them with small arms fire, and it’s unacceptable.”

According to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), 123 Palestinian, three Lebanese, and two Israeli journalists have been killed since the beginning of Israel’s war in Gaza.

“To date, CPJ has determined that at least five journalists were directly targeted by Israeli forces in killings which CPJ classifies as murders,” said the Committee in its most recent report. “CPJ is also investigating numerous unconfirmed reports of other journalists being killed, missing, detained, hurt, or threatened, and of damage to media offices and journalists’ homes.”
