Israeli Marine Offences Act on the way ....

(IsraelNN.com) The weekly cabinet meeting began a short time ago. One of the
items on the agenda is the proposed Pirate Radio Station Law, making it
illegal to pay for advertisement on a pirate (illegal) station. According to
the law, anyone advertising on a station would be hit with a stiff fine.

The supporters of the law, Shinui party ministers, are confident that by
eliminating income from sponsors, the illegal stations will be compelled to
close. Shinui ministers insist their agenda is not targeting the many
Orthodox radio stations or Arutz-7, but aimed at eliminating the radio
broadcast interference with airport control towers, the result of the
illegal broadcasts.

Ministers Benny Elon and Effie Eitam have expressed their opposition to the
proposed law.
