High Court of Justice strikes down government order to close Army Radio
The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down the Israeli government's decision to close Army Radio.
On Thursday, the High Court of Justice invalidated the government's decision to close Army Radio, a military broadcaster that had been operating for 75 years. The court ruled unanimously that the government's decision was improper and invalid, as it was based on the perceived political disagreement between the broadcasters and those in power.
The closure was set to take effect on March 1, 2026. However, the court suspended the closure after agreeing to hear petitions challenging the decision. Justice Yechiel Kasher emphasized the undemocratic nature of silencing voices one disagrees with, stating that such governance is unequivocally undemocratic.
