NNA – Caretaker Minister of Information, Ziad Makary, contacted on Saturday Amal Al-Khalil, a media professional who works at Al-Akhbar newspaper, inquiring about the circumstances of the threatening letter she received from an Israeli sourcenbsp;over the phone.
Expressing his solidarity with al-Khalil in the face of ldquo;intellectual terrorism and psychological warfare, which Israel is accustomednbsp;to applyingnbsp;every now and then,rdquo; Makary stressed that ldquo;the immunity of the press will not be weakened by a threat from here or a message from there, and this method is nothing but evidence that Israel refuses to abide by international covenants, conventions and laws thatnbsp;protects journalists and patronizes their work.rdquo;
He considered that quot;a free and bold word remains more powerful than any military or psychological weapon.quot;
