Galei Israel
About Galei Israel
Galei Israel is a Hebrew-language talk and current affairs radio station from Israel. Its schedule is built around named programmes with interviews, discussion and commentary on politics, security and society, led by presenters such as Doron Cohen, Silvan Shalom and Avi Ratzon, alongside podcasts published on its website. Israeli music is also part of the mix, according to its app description.
Israeli media reports describe Galei Israel as a regional station operating under a franchise from the Second Authority for Television and Radio, aimed at the settler community in Judea and Samaria while reaching listeners in other parts of the country. It presents its content from a Zionist, Israeli viewpoint, and its coverage is openly opinionated, so listeners who want a balanced picture may wish to compare it with other sources. Its website does not state who owns the station.
The online stream is useful for Israelis abroad and for students of Hebrew who want to practise understanding fast, natural speech. The stream is delivered as MP3 at 128 kbps, which keeps speech clear and uses a moderate amount of data. It plays in your browser on RadioKite without installation, and you can add it to your favourites. The published schedule may change, so check the station website for current programmes.
