Palestinians Try Hand
At TV Newscasts

Jerusalem (JTA) — Tired of
being the constant subject of
television news shows
broadcast by others, Palesti-
nians this week produced an
experimental newscast of
their own that they hope will
be a forerunner of Palestin-
ian television.
"This is the first step in
the birth of the national Pa-
lestinian television," Hanan
Ashrawi, spokeswoman for
the Palestinian delegation to
the peace talks with Israel,
said at the end of a closed-
circuit broadcast shown to
an audience in eastern
Jerusalem's Hakawati
Theater.
With two Palestinian
newspapers in the eastern
part of Jerusalem having
closed down this year for fi-
nancial reasons, Palestinian
leaders have recognized the
need for more extensive Pa-
lestinian media.
Although the half-hour Pa-
lestinian "Experimental
Television News" was
greeted with cheers by the
sympathetic crowd at the
Hakawati, the idea remains
only a hope at this point,
since Israel has consistently
denied broadcast licenses to
Palestinians.
The experimental news
broadcast, prepared by a
team of 44 Palestinians over
the past two weeks, was
funded by a Swedish
government grant.
The newscast was also
organized with the help of a
communications team af-
filiated with the Palestinian
delegation to the Middle
East peace talks.
Among those in the packed
hall during the presentation
were prominent Palestin-
ians, including Ashrawi and
Riad al-Malki, a member of
the hard-line Popular Front
for the Liberation of
Palestine.
The anchorman was
Bassem Abu-Sumaya, well-
known among Palestinians
for his reports from the ter-
ritories on behalf of Radio
Monte Carlo, which broad-
casts from Paris in Arabic
with extensive coverage of
the Arab world.
At Abu-Sumaya's side
were two students, one from
the West Bank town of
Ramallah and the other
from Khan Yunis, in the
Gaza Strip.
The broadcast included
reports from the territories,
including an interview with

Hanan Ashrawi:
Lauds 'first step.'

Dr. Haidar Abdel-Shafi,
head of the Palestinian ne-
gotiating delegation, and a
studio debate on a proposed
Palestinian-Jordanian con-
federation.
Abdel-Shafi said the
Americans were exerting ,/
heavy pressure on the Pales- \
tinians to soften their stand
in the negotiations. The
broadcast did not include
even one report on events in
Israel proper.
Daoud Kuttab, a Palestin-
ian journalist who directed
the production of the
newscast, expressed the
hope that the Israeli au-
thorities would give the Pa-
lestinian television station
the necessary permits to go
on the air.
He said that as long as
there was no Palestinian in-
stitution with the authority
to grant broadcast licenses,
the Palestinians would ac-
cept Israeli terms for the
broadcast, including restric-
tions of military censorship.
All media in Israel are sub-
ject to military censorship,
but the censorship has been
especially strict with the
Arab newspapers in eastern
Jerusalem.
Knesset member Yael
Dayan of the Labor Party
said Tuesday that she had
already discussed the matter
with officials and Knesset
members and saw no reason
why the authorities would
not grant a permit to a Pa-
lestinian television station if
it meets the necessary re-
quirements. ❑
