Israeli authorities have deported French journalist Alice Froussard, known for her critical reporting on Israel’s war on Gaza and its policies in the occupied West Bank. The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed on Thursday that France was supporting Froussard but acknowledged Israel’s legal right to deport her. No official reason was provided for the deportation, though Israeli Minister for Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli later accused her of supporting Hamas and celebrated her departure from Ben Gurion Airport to Paris.

The Foreign Press Association condemned the deportation, noting that Israel had previously authorised Froussard’s travel. The incident has drawn renewed attention to Israel’s restrictions on international media coverage of its military actions in Gaza and Lebanon. Reporters from abroad have been barred from entering Gaza since the conflict began after the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, while many local journalists have been killed during the fighting.

Israel has faced repeated criticism for limiting press access and allegedly targeting journalists. The ongoing ban on foreign reporters has left Palestinian journalists to document the conflict and its humanitarian toll largely on their own.
