Israeli Communications Law Approved After Removing Controversial News App Clause
The Israeli Communications Law was approved in the special committee for second and third readings after the removal of a contentious clause concerning a government news app. The deleted clause had proposed a government app that would provide all news channels for free, requiring content providers such as HOT, Yes, and Partner to include news channels alongside other channels. The clause was removed due to opposition from Haredi parties, who argued that the app would operate on the Sabbath and feared it might include indecent content.
