Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has decided today (Monday) that the IDF Army Radio station, Galatz (Galei Tzahal), will not be closed, and he believes that a permanent station commander with military and command experience should be appointed.
Ahead of the expected Supreme Court hearing in October, Minister Gallant submitted his position on the continued operation of the military station to the government's legal counsel. He stated that he views the committee's recommendations for the continuation of Galatz's activities and changes to its characteristics as acceptable.
In accordance with the committee's recommendation, the Minister of Defense decided to retain Galatz IDF Radio in its current organizational framework, as a military unit subject organizationally to the Chief of the Personnel Directorate in the IDF. Additionally, the minister decided to adopt the committee's main recommendation to make a significant change in the content of the station's broadcasts.
