This article was in today's Hebrew Newspaper " Yediot Achronot ".

The Voice of Israel's overseas broadcasts on shortwave will cease in the
near future.

In the framework of the Israel Broadcasting Authorities financial cuts, it
was decided to relay the broadcasts through the Internet only. This will
create a saving of both frequencies and transmitters etc, which will come to
around about 20 million Shekels ( just under $4,500,000 ) a year.

The IBA Internet site relays Israel TV's Channel 1 , Reshet Bet ( Network
2 ), Reshet Daled ( in Arabic ) and foreign news broadcasts.
