Yoni Kempinski, who hosts the "Israeli Salad" show on IsraelNationalNews TV, has taped an interview with Yaakov Katz (Ketzaleh), Executive-Director of Arutz-7 and the Beit El Yeshiva Center. "What they did to us is against freedom of speech," Ketzaleh emphasized again and again, "and would be accepted in no western country... 40% of the nation is religious, and 60-70% are nationalistic who believe that the Land of Israel belongs to the People of Israel, that Jews should be allowed to live in the Land of Israel - in Judea and Samaria and in all of Jerusalem - and yet we have no radio station. The only radio stations are controlled by the 3-5% of the people who control key positions in the courts and State Prosecution."

Arutz-7 managers and the entire National Union Knesset faction met yesterday to discuss possible approaches to renewing Arutz-7 radio broadcasts. An agreed-upon professional committee will attempt to put the ideas into practice. The MKs met separately with Communications Minister Ehud Olmert of the Likud, and presented him with several possibilities for renewing Arutz-7 broadcasts from land. Legislating an "open skies" option is not realistic at this point, reported Arutz-7's David Shapira, who took part in the meeting. He said that MKs Tzvi Hendel and Uri Ariel said they would not rest until Arutz-7 is once again allowed to broadcast.
Arutz-7's regular Hebrew broadcasts can be heard at present via the internet, at "http://www.israelnationalnews.com/english/radio/live/Flive.htm", or by phone in Israel 057-777-777 at the cost of a cellular phone call (from abroad, replace the 0 with 972). Efforts are being made to enable Arutz-7 to be heard at the price of a local phone call.
