Six other directors, all of whom are Israeli citizens, hold in the aggregate 1.36 percent interest in Xfone. Petitioner assert that, pursuant to the rules and policies established in the Foreign Participation Order, 12 FCC Rcd 23891 (1997), Order on Reconsideration, 15 FCC Rcd 18158 (2000), its indirect foreign ownership is in the public interest.
