The Head of the Egyptian Journalists Syndicate, Khaled al-Balshy, responded to the television interview between journalist Emad Adib and former Israeli Prime Minister and opposition leader Yair Lapid.
Balshy affirmed the Syndicate’s firm position rejecting any form of normalization with Zionists.
“The Syndicate’s General Assembly’s firm position rejects all forms of professional, union, and personal normalization (with Zionists),” he stressed.
He declared in a Friday statement “From this standpoint, I declare my rejection of the professional and humanitarian crime committed by Adib in his interview with the Zionist Yair Lapid, during which he provided a platform to justify the war crimes committed by the occupation army and its crimes in the region.”
“Adib was removed from the Syndicate’s list following a decision by the preliminary disciplinary committee in September 2020, for arbitrarily dismissing dozens of fellow journalists at Al-Alam Al-Youm newspaper and retroactively closing their insurance files for five years prior to 2014. He is no longer a member of the Journalists Syndicate.”
He also assured that the union would not have hesitated to immediately punish Adib had he retained his membership.
Balshy called on all fellow journalists to abide by the union’s general assembly’s decision, emphasizing that any member who violates the decision will be immediately referred to a union investigation.
