Accreditation
To be eligible to cover any of the events in the programme Jerusalem based UK and international media must be accredited by the British Consulate General in Jerusalem. Different arrangements, managed by Royal Communications, apply to media travelling from the UK to cover the visit.
Accreditation for this visit is now open. To apply for accreditation, please complete and send it (including a JPEG personal photograph) by email to Shadi Sader by no later than 1700hrs on Tuesday 19 June.
Please note that successful accreditation may not in itself guarantee access to fixed points or pools. Once accreditations have been processed, further details for each location will be made available, including how to pick up your accreditation badges. Following Royal Communications guidance, as a general rule access to pools is restricted to UK travelling media and host country media. Fixed points will be available to Jerusalem based international media.
