NEW YORK, Feb. 10 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Israeli Cabinet Member and Minister of Tourism Benny Elon will be available for interviews from the United States from Feb. 11-17. He will be in New York on Feb. 11-12 and in North Carolina from Feb. 13-17 for the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) conference, at which the Ministry of Tourism will honor Rev. Dr. Pat Robertson and present him with an honorary Ambassadors Award.

Elon has sparked international headlines, for his recent comments to a Christian missionary organization where he said "Go to mosques and bring the light to the Muslims. Remind all the Muslim killers that thou shall not kill. Make them good Christians and good people." He is expected to repeat that message to thousands of Christians who will be present at the (NRB)annual convention, which will be held at the Charlotte Convention Center, in Charlotte, N.C.

Elon will also be available to discuss Prime Minister Sharon's plan to remove Jewish settlements from Gaza, to which he is opposed.

"There is no occupied "West Bank" or "Gaza" -- It is all Jewish and belongs to us and it is forbidden to give up one inch to Palestinian Arab terrorists," stated Elon. "Our Christian evangelical friends understand quite clearly what we are fighting against, and we will not remove settlements or make concessions as our stay in Judea and Samaria (The West Bank) is not temporary, and we will not permit the creation of a terrorist state in our biblical heartland. I am also pleased to honor Dr. Robertson's continued great work, which emanates from an understanding of the land of the Bible, and a commitment to a strong State of Israel."
