More than 130 news outlets and press freedom groups called Thursday for Israel to immediately lift a near-total ban on international media entering Gaza, while calling for greater protections for Palestinian journalists in the territory.The letter added that many Palestinian journalists -- whom news outlets have relied on to report from inside Gaza -- face a litany of threats.
