Businessman Haim Saban has announced that he will relinquish control of Partner Cellular. Saban officially announced that he did not intend to repay a loan he had taken from Hutchison Corporation, so the company took over Partner.
"The commitment of the group and Saban to support the State of Israel, its interests, and Israeli-American relations in particular, will remain firm," said a statement in the name of Haim Saban.
