Media personality and screenwriter Meni Assayag has directed sharp criticism at the army radio station Galatz, questioning why Israeli taxpayers are forced to cover financial damages and compensation awarded against the station or its employees. In a pointed post on his X account, Assayag expressed frustration over the situation and directly addressed Minister of Defense Israel Katz.
Assayag questioned the necessity of the station, asking, "Are all the financial damages for the blunders and crimes of Galatz personnel supposed to be funded by the Israeli taxpayer?" He further implored the minister, "Why on earth aren't you closing this unnecessary station already?"
This is not the first time Assayag has used social media to voice controversial opinions. In a separate recent post, he attacked the political discourse surrounding the two-state solution. Assayag stated, "We need to explain to Yousef Haddad (who has since retracted his words) and to many on the Israeli left who utter the term 'Palestinian state' from their lips."
He emphatically added, "Internalize it already, a Palestinian state will never arise for the simple reason that there is no such thing as the Palestinian people. Arabs brought to the Land of Israel from Arab countries by the conquerors for labor, cannot suddenly decide they are a people."
