Jerusalem, 29 July 2014
Special Letter to the Foreign Media from GPO Director Nitzan Chen
Dear Journalists
Since the beginning of Operation Protective Edge, the GPO has issued over
500 press cards for incoming journalists, in addition to the daily services
we provide to the hundreds of journalists permanently stationed in Israel.
We are working closely with relevant bodies such as the Foreign Press
Association, the IDF, COGAT and other government ministries to maximize
coordination, allow as much access as possible under the circumstances, and
provide useful information and updates.
Nevertheless, military operations are by nature dynamic and covering the
hostilities may expose journalists to life-threatening danger. While we take
your concerns very seriously, we ask that you please take every possible
precaution. We promise to continue providing the most effective, immediate
and personal service to assist you in your assignments.
Stay safe!
Sincerely,
Nitzan Chen, GPO Director
