Israeli officials are unstinting in their criticism of the way the foreign press covers the conflict. The foreign press rejects the criticism and accuses the Israeli authorities of trying to restrict access to information and to influence the way it is treated. Some go so far as to accuse the Israeli army of deliberately targeting journalists. Subject Headings |
