The FPA thanks AP, Reuters, AFP, EPA, Luke Baker, David Rubinger and David Silverman/Getty Images for the use of photos.

Who we Are

Established in June 1957 by 31 enterprising journalists, the Foreign Press Association in Israel

Statements

Stifling critics and shutting down stations are actions associated with dictatorships, not a democracy. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu loves to boast that Israel is the Middle East’s only democracy. We urge the government to uphold the ideals that he so proudly embraces.

Events

Members will be informed of our next event in due course.
