Channel 16, a media outlet led by media figure Ram Lands, launched five months ago with an investment of millions of shekels. However, photographers and freelancers working for the channel are now claiming that their payments have been delayed for extended periods. One employee, who has been waiting weeks for his salary, stated, "They tell us it's about to go through, that it's been deposited and to check if it arrived, and nothing arrives."
