The Defense Minister is pushing ahead to shut down the popular Army Radio, Galei Tzahal by March 1st. While some decry it as an attempt to silence  media, others back the move, saying the IDF had no business running a public radio station anyway. Zvika Klein, editor-in-chief of the Jerusalem Post, examines various options that could be taken with Army Radio. He told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that this is the closest it has been to seeing the legendary radio station shut down and whatever happens, its legacy and archive needed to be preserved.
