Source denies PM agreed to compromise with Kahlon over broadcaster
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSources close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu deny he reached a compromise agreement with Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon to allow a new public broadcaster to move forward.
“The claim that the prime minister or his representative agreed to establishing the corporation is false,” the unnamed official says.
Netanyahu has said he does not support the creation of the new broadcaster, which is set to go on air next month, but a reported compromise being hammered out earlier the day would see him green light the new corporation in exchange for increased control over personnel decisions
The fate of the embattled public broadcaster has threatened to collapse Netanyahu’s coalition and lead to early elections.
