A special Government committee headed by Minister of Police Eliahu Sasson to explore the feasibility of establishing a television service for Israel, recommended today that TV broadcast facilities be set up without delay, even if it means the presentation of programs on a low artistic level for a time.
The committee based its recommendation on the fact that many Arabs living in the West Bank area possess television sets and that this presents Israel with an opportunity to provide them with material on Israel and world events in a proper light.
