Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal changes the procedure for appointing the members of the council of the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation: instead of the recommendation of a search committee, the council will be appointed on the recommendation of the minister. The council will have 12 members, with a requirement of at least six women and at least one member from the Arab population, including the Druze and Circassian. The proposal also changes the conditions for removing a council member who was absent from council meetings without reasonable cause, and repeals Chapter D of the original law dealing with the search committee.
