No news for Israel

|

Not only do our good friends in Kuwait ban Israeli reporters from the Emirate, they're threatening journalists who pass information to Israel with dire consequences.

From Ha'aretz (by Reuters):

KUWAIT CITY - Authorities in Kuwait, hub of the U.S. and British military build-up for a possible war against Iraq, warned foreign media on Saturday against passing reports to Israeli news organizations.

Any company or journalist who did so would face legal action, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Information said in a statement posted at the main media center in Kuwait City.

Kuwait, like most other Arab nations, does not recognize Israel and supports the Palestinian independence cause.

"Please note that current law of the State of Kuwait prevents any kind of cooperation and interaction with Israel. The Ministry of Information notifies against feeding Israeli news and broadcasting organizations with reports for broadcast from the State of Kuwait," the statement said.
