Issue No. 1 of “Iton Rishmi” (Official Gazette) Published by the State of Israel (Provisional Government). Printed by “HaPoel HaTzair” Press, Tel Aviv, 5 Iyar 5708 – May 14, 1948.
“Iton Rishmi” was the original name of “Reshumot” – the official newspaper of record for the State of Israel, where all laws and regulations of the State of Israel were first published. This is the first issue, printed on the day of the establishment of the state, containing the Declaration of Independence, which Ben-Gurion read before the People’s Council just hours earlier. Alongside the declaration, the first legal document of the State of Israel is printed – the “Proclamation of the Provisional State Council, ” which Ben-Gurion read immediately after the declaration, defining for the first time the powers of the Provisional State Council as the legislative authority; the abolition of the 1939 “White Paper” regulations; and the establishment of Mandatory law as the basis for Israel’s legal system.
