"Israel has a public interest in Arutz-7 broadcasting, which reaches not only a significant Jewish audience not otherwise represented by the established media in this country, but also Jews and Gentiles abroad who are misled by their own anti-Jewish and anti-Zionist media... The closure of this radio station is not only a blow against freedom of speech, but against Israel's national interests. No other radio program is more conducive to an enlightened and well-informed public."
The Arutz-7 management has begun efforts among Knesset Members to enact legislation enabling the station to resume broadcasting.
