DAVAR
Davar: translation
(The Word)
A daily Hebrew-language newspaper published in Tel Aviv. It was founded in 1925 by the Histadrut and was the third Hebrew daily newspaper to appear in Palestine under the British mandate. As a result of the dominance of the Labor Movement in the leadership of the World Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency under the mandate and in Israeli government after independence, Davar became, for all practical purposes, the unofficial organ of the leadership and government of Israel. It ceased publication in the mid-1990s.
