Ma'ariv Editor
Quits Post
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Citing
"excessive interference" by
the owners, Dan Margalit
has resigned as editor of
Israel's second-largest
newspaper.
Mr. Margalit is leaving
Ma'ariv six months after be-
ing appointed to the post by
the Nimrodi family, which
purchased the paper from
the estate of the late British
magnate Robert Maxwell.
In an interview with Israel
,Radio, he blamed excessive
intervention in the daily
running of the paper by Ofer
Ninu•odi, who holds the posts
of executive editor and
Ma'ariv board chairman.
Staffers have complained
that the business activities
of the Nimrodi family are
given excessive prominence
in the columns of the news-
paper.
The paper was purchased
last February by Ofer's
father, Ya'acov Nimrodi, an
- Israeli arms dealer and a
business associate of Saudi
arms merchant Adnan
Khashoggi.
Mr. Nimrodi served for 10
years as Israel's military at-
tache in Teheran at the time
of the shah and played a
pivotal role in the Iran-
k2ontra arms deal.
Mr. Margalit, who has
been a popular television
talk show host, said he
would focus on radio and
television work and continue
contributing articles to the
paper.
Ma'ariv became a livelier
publication under the aegis
of the Nimrodi family and
Mr. Margalit, making gains
in both circulation and
advertising revenues.
