Reuters has ceased sharing the precise locations of its media teams with the Israeli military, a decision that comes after Israel’s genocidal assaults on Gaza have killed nearly 250 Palestinian journalists, the international news agency told NBC News.

International reports and organisations have accused Israel of deliberately targeting Palestinian journalists, both on duty and in their homes alongside their families.

From Guatemala to Chile, from Panama to the Dominican Republic, here are some examples of US interference imposed by Washington.

President Prabowo Subianto vowed to stand firm, condemning the burning of parliament buildings in several cities as “an attack on democracy.”
