AMW letter published in Daily Express

AMW letter published in Daily Express

Arab Media Watch chairman Sharif Hikmat Nashashibi got a letter published in the Daily Express on 6 June 2007 regarding the legal status of the West Bank and an incorrect map published by the newspaper alongside a travel piece about Jordan

This followed a complaint by AMW to the Press Complaints Commission after the Express initially refused publication.

The letter was published as follows:

Your travel piece, Hidden Treasures of a Middle Eastern Gem on 24 March, was illustrated by a small map which incorrectly showed the area known as the West Bank as being part of Israel. Since its capture by Israel in 1967, it has been internationally and legally recognised as occupied territory.

Sharif Hikmat Nashashibi
Chairman, Arab Media Watch
