Chairman Gil Omer told employees of the new Kan (Here) public broadcasting corporation, Thursday morning, "The goal of all of us as one body is to make an excellent, quality and proper public broadcast with the best variety we can. Tonight the law that splits the corporation into two was passed. This law is bad, inappropriate, unjust and illegal. The final word has not been said. We will leave it to the court, but we will do our utmost to ensure that public broadcasting is not harmed and it won't be simple."
CEO Eldad Koblenz announced that a petition to the Supreme Court would be filed against the law, saying, "Our responsibility is first and foremost to the Israeli public and all the employees."
