Hungary and Rumania Jam Israel Broadcasts to Jews Abroad

January 5, 1953
See Original Daily Bulletin From This Date

The British representative of Kol Zion Lagolah–the Israeli radio station that broadcasts to Jews outside Israel–today declared that radio stations in Hungary and Rumania are deliberately interfering with the Kol Zion broadcasts.

According to the station’s representative here, Communist stations in the past have frequently “cut in” on Kol Zion broadcasts and have made reception almost impossible in Britain. There have also been reports that Russian and Czech transmitters have been interfering with Kol Zion programs. Meanwhile, Soviet jamming of Hebrew-language programs beamed from London by B. B. C. to Israel is continuing.
