Mr.; Leah Rabin has complained that while the Arabic-language broadcasts on Israeli television showed a great deal of the appearance of Mrs. Jihan Sadat, wife of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, at the International Women’s Conference in Mexico City, the Hebrew-language broadcasts ignored her own appearance.
Speaking at a Haifa women’s meeting, the wife of Israeli Premier Rabin said her appearance in Mexico was the first time she faced the world media and she used it to preach Zionism. She said the Mexican and United States television networks prominently displayed both her and Mrs. Sadat and she still receives encouraging letters from women in the United States, Mrs. Rabin said she could not understand the motive of Israeli television in not showing her appearance.
