Journalists union says it will fight Katz’s decision to close Army Radio

The Union of Journalists in Israel says that it will work against Defense Minister Israel Katz’s decision to close Army Radio by March 2026.

“Israel Katz will not close any media outlet in the State of Israel. The journalists’ union will fight against this bad decision until it is canceled. Army Radio will not be closed,” the statement reads.

Katz said today that he will soon bring the proposal to close the station, which has long been a target of the coalition, to the government for approval.

The decision is likely to be challenged in court.
