ISRAEL MINISTRY OF TOURISM TO HONOR PAT ROBERTSON

NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2004 - The Reverend Dr. Pat Robertson will be honored by
the Israel Ministry of Tourism, at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB)
annual convention, on Sunday, February 15, 2004, when he is presented with
the 2003 Ambassadors Award by Benny Elon, Israel's Minister of Tourism.
This year, the National Religious Broadcasters Convention will be held at
the Charlotte Convention Center, in Charlotte, NC.

"Dr. Robertson's passion emanates from an understanding of the land of the
Bible, and a commitment to a strong State of Israel. He is a true friend of
Israel. In the face of opposition and at points when Dr. Robertson stood
alone, he never wavered in his convictions. We applaud and honor that
spirit today," exclaimed Minister Elon.

Rami Levi, Israel's Tourism Ambassador to North & South America added, "Dr.
Robertson's commitment to strengthening tourism to Israel, and the number of
visitors to our country is greatly welcomed. His influence over his
millions of viewers and Christian Zionists is appreciated, and we look
forward to working with him for years to come."

This is the second year that the Israel Ministry of Tourism has presented
its Ambassadors Award at the National Religious Broadcaster's Convention.
Last year's recipient was Mike Evans, president and founder of the Jerusalem
Prayer Team (JPT).

Pat Robertson is the founder and chairman of the Christian Broadcasting
Network, whose programming is broadcast across the globe. The National
Religious Broadcasters represents over 1,500 faith-based member
organizations.

The Ambassadors Award honors extraordinary efforts in support of The State
of Israel. Tourism to Israel from the United States increased 31 per cent
in 2003, attributed in part to Christian tourism.
