At the beginning of the Blue and White faction meeting, Defense Minister Bnei Gantz referred to the storm in the IDF waves and the dismissal of broadcaster Yaakov Bardugo.
Gantz claimed that: “As chief of staff, I believed, and so I do today, that there is no place for a military broadcasting station in the State of Israel these days. I am examining the removal of IDF waves from the army, And in recent months I have realized that this is a complex issue. Therefore, and even though this issue is still on the agenda, in coordination with the Attorney General, we have been working for about a month to appoint a search committee to be established in the near future. “
Gantz on Jacob Bardugo
There is no situation in which soldiers engage in politics
The blue-and-white chairman added: “Alongside this, it is impossible to accept a situation in which IDF soldiers engage in politics, both directly and indirectly. The Ministry of Defense and the IDF. When I appointed Deputy Galit Altstein for her position, I told her that these were my expectations.
The defense minister was careful to refer directly to the case of Bardugo being moved from the regular strip in which he broadcast alongside Yaron Wilensky in the evening diary, saying: Ridiculous false, as if I use this station politically. I have not been interviewed on this station for more than a year even when my political situation was less good now. I did not ask for positive coverage, I will not ask for positive coverage. My demands from the station are simple, as long as it exists Ethics and respect for everyone who works in and out of it, and to ensure that “IDF soldiers are not involved in politics.”
