[edit] Israeli Civil Service Commission

This text has ben removed from the article:

  • On 11 March 2007, Haaretz newspaper reported that the Israeli Civil Service Commission is investigating foreign journalists' accusations that Government Press Office Director Daniel Seaman has treated them improperly and enforced the procedures for receiving a press pass in an inequitable manner [1].

I checked the source and this is a fair summary of it. However I cannot find any article that gives the disposition of the investigation. By itself, an investigation is not especially noteworthy. It is the outcome of the investigation that matters. Does anyone know if this was either dismissed or pursued? ·:· Will Beback ·:· 22:58, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

After a thorough investigation that included dozens of journalists and an attempt at political manipulation by a member of the prime minister's media staff (she was later relieved of duty), all of the accusations were dismissed. In December 2007 Seaman however, received an administrative reprimand by the deputy director general of the prime minister's office for remarks he made in this article: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArtStEngPE.jhtml?itemNo=774653&contrassID=2&subContrassID=1&title='Foreign%20reporter%20challenges%20GPO%20over%20visa%20policy

basically a tap on the wrist which will probably be reduced after an appeal.
