IBA to Call Hevron House ‘Peace House’
As a result of a formal complaint by
Israel's Media Watch, the Israel Broadcast Authority officially recommended that the recently purchased and inhabited house in Hevron be called the “Peace House”. It had previously been called the “House of Strife.”
The IBA’s code of ethics mandates that the name preferred by those involved be used in their broadcasts, according to Amos Goren, head of the IBA’s complaint department.
MK Yossi Beilin visited the Peace House today, where he was greeted with jeers.
