Reshet Bet (lit. "Network Two") is the second public radio station of Israel, owned and operated by the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA). Since its establishment in 1950, Reshet Bet has played a pivotal role in shaping Israeli society and culture, becoming an indispensable part of the national media landscape.
