Editing my next video, I needed a photo of the Israeli prime minister. In most contries such official photos are freely available.

However, on the site of the Israeli government, they have added this limitation:

"You are prohibited from […] using it in any way that harms the name or the reputation of the State.”

So if my story reveals something about Israel, which harms their reputation, they reserve the right to take me to court.

What an interesting approach to press freedom.
