Russian billionaire to found 'Jewish Al-Jazeera'

Alexander Mashevich says planned pro-Israel news channel will "represent Israel on an international level, with real information."

Russian “oligarch” and Jewish philanthropist Alexander Mashkevich announced on Wednesday his intention to found a Jewish version of Al-Jazeera.
"Every day and every hour people get negative information about Israel," Mashkevich said at the Keren Hayesod – United Israel Appeal conference in Washington D.C. "Therefore, the most important thing is to represent Israel on an international level, with real information."
