Defense Minister Israel Katz says that he will bring his proposal to close Army Radio for government approval on Sunday, December 21.
Last month, Katz announced that he intends to shut down the IDF-controlled station, ordering broadcasts to cease by March 1, 2026.
The decision to close the station is likely to be challenged in court.
