Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.LONDON - Israel, Egypt and Turkey have created a new body to promote tourism to the eastern Mediterranean, writes Charles Richards.
Security problems have put off tourists. In 1988, after the outbreak of the Palestinian uprising, the Israel Tourist Authority had to withdraw posters with the slogan 'Jerusalem - a stone's throw from Tel Aviv'. Egypt's tourism has been devastated by Islamist violence, and the kidnapping of foreign tourists by Turkey's Kurds has deterred visitors.
