jointly create a Hebrew-language Internet entertainment portal. The portal will
be hosted on the MSN-Israel home page and marketed to all Israeli web users. The

will become an important traffic and revenue driver for MSN-Israel.
Commenting on the news, Uri Adoni, CEO of MSN-Israel, said, "This agreement
