CBS news magazine "60 minutes", one of the most-watched investigative television programs in the United States, is expected to air a 12-minute report on the city of Tel Aviv, presenting it as an island of sanity within the burning Middle East.

Each "60 Minutes" program consists of three news stories dealing with corruption, a famous figure or a certain phenomenon.

The Tel Aviv report aims to present the Israeli metropolis as a vibrant, liberal and attractive city.

A "60 Minutes" crew, led by veteran correspondent Bob Simon, arrived in I srael earlier this month. During their month-long visit, they explored the city life and events and received full cooperation from the Tel Aviv Municipality.
