El Alem is the first non-partisan weekly to be published in Israel in Arabic. The editor of the newspaper was Yehezkel Amir. The newspaper is intended to be the first tool of expression for Arabic-speaking Israeli citizens, to serve as a platform for explaining and clarifying the country's problems, and especially as an instrument of expression for Arabic-speaking Israeli citizens who in those days received nothing to express their attitude to the young state. (For example, there are interesting articles about a possible meeting between Ben-Gurion and Nasser in preparation for peace, etc.). The weekly was distributed all over the country, including in the transit camps and settlements of the immigrants who speak Arabic, and its price was between 250 and 300 pennies. In some of the issues the price, and the number of the issue were written in Hebrew. And many photographs and paintings appear in it. The first issue was published on October 12, 1955 (it appears in the collection before us). The weekly was published for almost a decade between 1955 and 1964.
