On Monday evening, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir ordered the closure of the “Voice of Palestine” radio station and barred any station run by the Palestinian Authority from operating within Israel. The station is based in Ramallah but has offices in Jerusalem.
Ben-Gvir called Voice of Palestine a “hostile media channel that broadcasts incitement on behalf of the Palestinian Authority. The location of this channel belongs in Syria, not in the Land of Israel.”
We couldn’t agree more. The only way to combat incitement against Israel is to drive it out at its source. Ben-Gvir’s move is an excellent example of Israel taking control of her sovereign rights.
