Israeli Government Moves to Shut Down Army Radio After Decades of Service

The Israeli government has decided to close Army Radio, known as Galei Tzahal, effective March 1, marking the end of its 75-year broadcast history. This decision, proposed by Defense Minister Israel Katz, was unanimously approved despite legal concerns raised by Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, who argued it undermines press freedom. Critics, including the Israel Press Council and journalists' unions, plan to challenge the closure in the Supreme Court. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supports the move, claiming it aligns with democratic values, while opposition leaders view it as an attack on free speech, particularly during an election year. The closure reflects broader governmental efforts to exert control over media in Israel.
