Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has urged the High Court of Justice to halt the government's decision to close Army Radio until a final court ruling is made. The attorney general's position, conveyed through the State Attorney's Office, highlights concerns over procedural and substantive flaws in the cabinet's decision to shut down the station, which is operated by the military. The cabinet had cited the station's involvement in political discourse as a reason for its closure, arguing that it undermines the military's unity. Petitions challenging the closure claim it is an attempt to silence critical media and benefit government-aligned outlets. The High Court is expected to hold a hearing on the matter before the end of January, with the government planning to close the station by March 1.
