Canada: Journalist Valérie Zink Resigns from Reuters in Gaza Due To Its Complicity with Israeli War Crimes! (26.8.2025)

Canadian journalist resigns from Reuters over Gaza coverage and denounces western media complicity 

Canadian photojournalist Valérie Zink has resigned from Reuters after eight years, describing her decision as a “cry of conscience” against what she called media complicity in Israel’s crimes in Gaza.

Zink accused Reuters of justifying and enabling the systematic assassination of 245 Palestinian journalists, saying major western outlets have become a “conveyor belt for Israeli propaganda.” She added: “I cannot wear the Reuters press card except with shame and deep sorrow.”

Her testimony stressed that western media silence has not protected correspondents but instead gave Israel the green light to intensify its double bombings against hospitals, schools, paramedics, and journalists, turning words and cameras into legitimate targets in the genocide war on Gaza.
