Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit today (Tuesday) referred to the decision of the Chief of Staff and the Minister of Defense to close the Gali Tzahal radio station and stated that the Chief of Staff's decision with the approval of the Minister of Defense alone is not enough to close the station.
On behalf of the ombudsman, it was reported that today the opinion of the Deputy Attorney General, Adv. Deals with the question of the authority to order the closure of the station.
In the opinion, it was clarified that "the king's way of closing the station is in the Knesset's primary legislation. Do not amount to legal impediment, taking into account the existing normative infrastructure and the nature of the violation of freedom of expression and its limited power.
However, as long as the political echelon chooses to promote the closure of the station, this move requires, at the very least, a government decision.
This, in light of the manner in which the station was built and the meanings of the closure.
Hence, the Chief of Staff's decision with the approval of the Minister of Defense alone is not enough to bring about the closure of IDF waves.
