The CEO of Kaan 11 and the chairman gathered the employees at the corporation's offices in Jerusalem • Golan Yochpaz: "Nearly seventy percent do not want the channel to close"


The uproar over the closure of the corporation:

After Communications Minister Shlomo Karai announced that he intended to cut millions from the Broadcasting Corporation's budget, Khan Chairman Gil Omer and Chief Executive Officer Golan Yokhpaz called the employees to an emergency meeting in the offices in Jerusalem today (Sunday).

Gil Omer, chairman here, told the workers: "Without public broadcasting there is no interest-free and independent news.

News that is dictated from above - by those who are not professionals, capitalists or politicians - harms first and foremost the strength of society;

Without public broadcasting there is also a fatal injury to Israeli culture, creativity and creators;

Without public broadcasting, it is not possible to broadcast to citizens who have difficulty understanding Hebrew and members of various minorities that make up Israeli society."

Golan Yokhpaz, the CEO of the corporation, said in his speech: "A few days ago, a survey was placed on my desk, carried out at the request of the corporation, by one of the most prominent survey companies in Israel, a survey that asked to examine the public's attitude towards the intentions to harm us - close to seventy percent of the public in Israel - Jews and Arabs , secular and religious, right and left - ask not to harm the channel in any way.

This is a higher trust index than almost any other public body in Israel apart from the IDF."

The representatives of the corporation's employees' committee, Eliran Gabbai and Yoav Karakovski, said at the workers' meeting: "In the fight against the closure of the Israel Broadcasting Corporation, the employees, the management and the council are working from Nablus to Nablus. We will cooperate fully. We represent a thousand employees of the public broadcaster who go through time and again threats to peace and source You made a living."
