The Israeli government is considering a bill that could dismantle Kan, the country's public broadcaster, and transfer its operations to private owners within two years. The bill argues that public funding for Kan is unnecessary as private channels already provide similar content. However, critics argue that public broadcasting is essential for amplifying voices that wouldn't otherwise be heard and reflecting the full spectrum of Israeli society. The proposal is part of a broader trend of measures that critics say undermine press freedom in Israel.
