Hi,

The partnership is aiming to introduce a hundred new video files https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimedia_Israel_-_Channel_2_videos on current affairs to be added, remixed, and shared on the Wikimedia projects.

Hey Itzik,
very nice, thanks for sharing!
Can you confirm that the music used is also free? It is so generally appliccable, that the raw music files might also be useful to upload as such.
Best, Lodewijk
