IDF no longer to control Army Radio

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman is today accepting the recommendation of the Defense Ministry to take Army Radio out of the IDF.

While it won’t be a military unit, it will become a subdivision at the Defense Ministry, a ministry statement says.

The statement says that the decision stems from a desire from IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot to have the army focus on its core areas of responsibility.

The move is expected to be completed by May 17. There was no word on if the legendary station would undergo a name change too.
