Israeli Journalists Organization Condemns Government for Defying Supreme Court on Broadcasting Authority

The Israeli Journalists Organization sharply criticized the government’s decision to defy a Supreme Court ruling concerning the Second Authority for Television and Radio. The organization stated that the government is dismantling both the media and democracy in Israel. It accused the government of deliberately obstructing a deal involving high-tech investors and Channel 13, describing the move as an unprecedented violation of the Supreme Court's authority. The statement further claimed that the government’s refusal to comply with the rule of law is driven by foreign political considerations.
