History and profile

[edit]

Israël was established by Albert Mosseri in Cairo in 1920.[1][2] It was the official media outlet of Ha Shomer ha Zair, a Jewish organization.[3] The magazine had three language editions, Arabic, French and Hebrew all which were started on 2 April 1920.[4] Albert Mosseri also edited the French edition of the magazine until his death in 1933.[1][4] His assistant editors were Albert Staraselski and Joseph Mosseri.[4] The Arabic edition was edited by three different individuals, Murad Faraj, Yousef Manufla and Saad Yaqub Maliki.[4] Mathilde Mosseri, wife of Albert Mosseri, edited the Hebrew edition together with Yehoshua Kantrovich.[4] Following the death of her husband Mathilde Mosseri edited the French edition of magazine in the period 1933–1939.[1]

Israël was published on a weekly basis.[4] As of 1920 the magazine was distributed to several regions, including Palestine, Damascus, Beirut, Paris, Baghdad, Cyprus, Basra, Brussels, England and Thessaloniki.[1] Due to tensions about the Palestine issue the magazine was banned in Iraq in September 1933.[5]

The Hebrew edition of the magazine was closed down in 1923, and its Arabic edition ceased publication in 1933.[1][3] The French edition was folded in 1939.[2][3]

The magazine had an explicitly Zionist editorial line.[6]
