Yediot Ahronot says that cabinet tensions over the future of Israel’s new broadcasting corporation are set to come to a head with a cabinet vote on Sunday. The old broadcasting authority is being wound down to make way for a new public broadcaster, set to begin operating in January. However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is spearheading an effort to reverse the process. He is thought to fear that the new body will be critical of his government. Netanyahu’s plans are being vigorously opposed by members of his coalition, primarily Finance Minister and Kulanu head Moshe Kahlon, who is quoted saying: “I will not allow a single agora (penny) to be spent, in any area, from the public’s pocket in order to make changes.”

Commenting in Maariv, Ben Caspit asks: “The question remains what Netanyahu will do. Will he go all the way, even though he has no rounds in his magazine? Will he risk elections without having stopped the corporation?”
