Defense Minister Israel Katz Rejects Supreme Court Ruling on Closing Army Radio Galatz

Israel Katz, Israel's Defense Minister, strongly opposed the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the government's move to shut down the army radio station Galatz. Katz criticized the court for prioritizing its own judgment over that of the elected government ministers, who unanimously agreed that a civilian radio station with political content should not operate within the military. Although the court acknowledged the government's authority to make the decision and rejected claims that shutting down Galatz required primary legislation, Katz vowed that once his party wins the upcoming elections and regains public trust, they will complete the process of closing the station.
