Israel is a natural bridge between continents and therefore a natural place for conventions of eastern and western cultures, President Ben-Zvi declared today at the opening session of the Tenth Annual International Press Institute here.
Brigadier Chaim Herzog, former Israeli military attache in the United States and now head of Israel’s Intelligence Department, told the 170 editors from 30 countries that “there will be no happier man than me when an Israeli representative announces at a future International Press Institute that Israel censorship has been abolished after the causes for the censorship have been abolished.”
He added that as long as Israel was situated among hostile neighbors and leaders of those neighbors reiterate threats against Israel and maintain huge military forces, Israel must maintain security censorship and only security censorship.
