Israel’s defense minister, Israel Katz, announced plans to close the publicly funded Army Radio to maintain the military’s “nonpartisan” character. The station’s chief, Tal Lev Ram, condemned the decision as a threat to press freedom, calling it a blow to Israeli society and the people’s army. The closure, expected by March 1, has sparked criticism over its impact on editorial independence, as FRANCE 24's Noga Tarnopolosky explains.
