  • Right-wing activists placed mock closure orders at Channel 14 and the Bnei David academy.
  • The protest responded to Yair Golan's threat to shut down both institutions if elected.
  • The mock orders stated they would take effect in 72 hours, after the upcoming elections.
  • Activists warned of the "danger of a left-wing government" led by Golan and Gadi Eisenkot.
  • The orders cited "inciting media" and were attributed to "Minister of Communications Gilad Kariv" and "Defense Minister Yair Golan."

Activists from the Religious Zionism party placed mock closure orders at the entrance to Channel 14's studios and the Bnei David pre-military academy in Eli on Sunday morning. The protest action was a response to statements made by Labor Party Chairman Yair Golan, who vowed to shut down both institutions if his party forms a government.

The mock orders, which stated they would take effect in 72 hours, were intended to highlight what the activists described as the "danger of a left-wing government." They claimed that voting for small parties that do not pass the electoral threshold could lead to a left-wing government headed by Gadi Eisenkot and Yair Golan, who they allege intend to harm the media outlet and the academy.

The closure order placed at Channel 14 was attributed to "Minister of Communications Gilad Kariv," citing "inciting media" as the reason. A similar order at the Eli academy was signed by "Defense Minister Yair Golan."

Young members of the Religious Zionism party stated that leaders of the "change bloc," including Golan, are openly declaring their intention to close the Bnei David academy and halt Channel 14's broadcasts, drawing a parallel to past actions against Channel 7. They warned that this "nightmare scenario" could become reality in 72 hours if the public does not act now.
