Tzachi Hanegbi, a former reporter for Galei Tzahal, writes an opinion column in response to the High Court of Justice ruling that annulled the government's decision to close the military radio station. Hanegbi praises the ruling as balanced and clear, noting that it leaves the government the option to close the station in the future, provided it proves its motives are not political. He describes his personal experiences as a reporter at the station in the 1970s, and his resignation when he began leading political student struggles. Hanegbi argues that the question of the existence of a military radio station deserves principled debate, but the government's decision was made for extraneous reasons. He quotes Justice Barak-Erez and Justice Stein, and concludes that the ruling paves the way for the government to act free of political considerations.
