The media blockade imposed by the current Israeli government has made coverage of the genocide in Gaza virtually impossible for western and local press. Although some western media outlets do report mostly political aspects of the conflict, without following the social media accounts of those living through it on the ground, it remains a war behind closed doors. This makes it difficult for a wider public to comprehend the fast-moving developments in Gaza and Palestine, to gauge the suffering of Palestinians, or Israelis demonstrating to demand the return of the hostages, and, beyond all, to glimpse a path toward peace.
