On March 17, 2025, a discussion was held in the Knesset Economics Committee regarding the proposed TV Distribution Through Digital Stations Law, or “Idan Plus” law, which is intended to extend benefits to Channel 14, the government preferred news channel. Attorney Ronen Reingold participated in the discussion on behalf of Zulat.
Attorney Reingold, whose remarks were repeatedly interrupted by committee chairman David Bitan, said that “this entire distortion begins with an original desire to give benefits to Channel 14. Let’s think about where we started all this insanity that now led to attempts to solve it through several paths, which are also quite distorted.”
Attorney Reingold further stated that “what we are asking is that any solution not prolong the discrimination. We ask that any solution found will maintain equality between the different channels and stop giving illegitimate preference to small channels – because this is the solution suggested here in the bottom line.”
