Oppose until copyright issues are cleared up. First, what is the copyright status of this image in the US? It was likely renewed owing to the URAA (1958 + 51 = 2009, well after the extension date)? Second, is there any indication that this was first published in Israel? The source has jack regarding that. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:45, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Huh, a posed picture for the Israeli Press Office, and you need evidence that it was published in Israel? --ELEKHH^T 10:03, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Where does it say on the image page that this was taken for the press office, rather than by Pridan on his own? Even if this was first published in Israel, the URAA concerns are enough for me to oppose. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:07, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - At that time Pridan worked for the Israeli Government Press Office, so this falls under Commons Category:PD Israel & British Mandate. As for URAA, I believe this qualifies as PD-1996. Brandmeister^talk 11:18, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - How would it qualify as PD-1996, at all? If this is a government-owned work, then the 2008 copyright extensions applied to this image (making it copyrighted in Israel as well). I'm nominating for deletion. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:45, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        See meta:Israeli new copyright law: "the previous status-quo will continue to apply to state-owned photographs (the equivalent of Crown copyright), i.e. any photograph whose copyrights are owned by the state will be subject to the 50 year period arrangement also under the new law.". Since the file's metadata confirms this is a work of the Israeli Government Press Office, per Israeli copyright law: "copyright in a work in which the State is the first owner of the copyright in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 5 shall last for a period of 50 years from the date of its making".

        I'd say, absent evidence to the contrary, that when a government says the works it owns are out of copyright, we can take that as sufficient. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 01:13, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        In that state. But AFAIK, Israel does not consider the PD status of its works to apply worldwide when works become PD owing to age (compare the UK's Crown Copyright, which does apply worldwide), which means the URAA is still a consideration — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:49, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - He actually worked there for much longer then that. Additionally we can probably upload that photo as well as I am pretty sure we have approval from the Israeli GPO via OTRS (ticket #2012112010011362) --CyberXRef^☎ 00:59, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
