Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi said Tuesday evening that his opponents will continue to sting, harass and slander him but will not stop him, vowing to break what he called the left's media monopoly and advance his broadcast reform, according to a post on X.
Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi issued a defiant statement Tuesday evening, framing his ongoing broadcast reform as a battle against a left-wing media monopoly. "They will continue to sting, harass, and slander, but they will not succeed in stopping me," Karhi wrote on X, adding that he is "smashing the left's media monopoly" and that the reform is coming "soon, God willing." The statement comes amid a broader political debate over the broadcast reform bill, which Karhi has been advancing. As The Zioneer reported on June 11, Karhi told a Knesset committee that he would remove a clause granting the Shin Bet and prime minister oversight of the Broadcasting Authority; the same day he opened Knesset debate on the broader media law, drawing opposition objections. The minister's latest post does not address specific legislative progress or a timetable.
