As of today (the 21st), the IBA still says English shortwave (and a bunch of other languages) will disappear at the end of the month.
Quoting from the Jerusalem Post via RNW's Media Network weblog, "But the radio respite has not been extended to the IBA's other foreign-language broadcasts, including English, which will no longer be available to radio listeners outside Israel after the end of this month. The broadcasts will continue in Israel on the Reka channel, available on mediumwave and FM, but the shortwave broadcasts will cease, silencing Israel Radio's English, Amharic, French, Spanish, Yiddish and other foreign language overseas transmissions for the first time in decades. Would-be listeners will henceforth only be able to hear the programs via the Internet." --- Shortwave broadcasts in Farsi will continue, however, past March 31st, as the IBA (Israel Broadcasting Authority) allocated the necessary funds.
