News Brief

(IsraelNN.com) "The Israeli Initiative," a plan by MK Benny Elon calling for the compensation and relocation of Arabs from the "refugee camps" of Judea, Samaria and Gaza to Arab countries, launched a large scale advertising campaign Thursday.

The campaign includes hundreds of billboards, a large scale internet advertising effort and a brochure that will initially be distributed to thousands of decision makers and public opinion shapers in Israel, the U.S., Europe and the Arab world.

The campaign will include American lobbyists who will attempt to enlist the support of senators, congressmen and other officials. Elon has held meetings with a number of senators and congressmen on the subject and has already received the support of Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kansas).
