What happened

Israel’s coalition is pushing forward a Broadcasting Bill despite warnings from the Knesset committee’s legal adviser that the text was distributed before a full legal review was completed. The bill would significantly reshape media regulation, including changes affecting ownership rules and benefits for channels 14 and i24. Committee chair Galit Distel Atbaryan said the process would continue, while lawmakers and legal advisers described serious flaws in the draft.
