Hi friends,

Something I think will be interesting for some of you. 
Can such partnership could be consider as GLAM as well?

Hi,

We happy announce a new partnership with the Israeli News Company, which produces the primetime news program on Israel’s Channel 2. For the past 23 years, Channel 2 News has covered the history of Israel and the Middle East, as well as events around the world. 

The partnership is aiming to introduce a hundred new video files on current affairs to be added, remixed, and shared on the Wikimedia projects. Videos cover footage from important historical events like the Oslo Accords, the Israel–Jordan peace treaty,Jerusalem and the Western Wall, the Dead Sea and even videos of Japan and India, footage of Israeli leaders such as Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Reuven (Ruvi) Rivlin, former President Shimon Peres and more
