Israel<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

43.\t<\/span>In the absence of answer from the Government of Israel concerning his communication of 24 May 2004 (see E\/CN.4\/2005\/18\/Add.1, page 9), the Special Rapporteur is forced to consider the following case no longer as an allegation but as a proven fact: <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

44.\t<\/span>Since 2001, the Government of Israel refuses to issue press cards to<\/i> Palestinian journalists <\/strong><\/i>as well as to renew their press accreditation. This is done on the grounds that Palestinians pose a potential security threat by being Palestinians. The Israeli High Court of Justice found that the Government Press Office was acting illegally, in a 25 April 2004 ruling, which added that Palestinian journalists should be given press cards if they have been given security clearance to work in Israel. However, reports indicate that on 11 May, the Government petitioned the High Court, claiming that threatening statements from militant Palestinian groups have now made Palestinian journalists a danger to Israeli leaders in particular, therefore in effect continuing this practice implemented since 2001.<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n
