The Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation^[1] (IPBC; Hebrew: תַּאֲגִיד הַשִׁיְדּוּר הַיִשְׂרָאֵלִי, romanized: Taʾăḡid HaŠidûr HaYiśrāʾēli, lit. 'Israeli Broadcasting Corporation'; Arabic: هَيْئَة اَلْبَثّ اَلْإِسْرَائِيلي, romanized: Hayʾat al-Baṯṯ al-Isrāʾīlī) is the national broadcaster of Israel.

The IPBC carries the blanket branding Kan in Hebrew (כאן, 'Here') and Makan in Arabic (مكان, 'A place'). Its news division, Kan News (Hebrew: כאן חדשות, romanized: Kān Ḥădāšôt; Arabic: مكان الاخبار, romanized: Makān al-ʾAḵbār), is the third biggest brand in Israeli newscasting, after HaHadashot 12 and Channel 13 News.

After multiple delays due to disagreements over its structure brought upon by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the IPBC officially began its radio and television operations on 15 May 2017, succeeding the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA) as state broadcaster.^[2] Its formal goals include promoting expanding knowledge, Israeli culture, and innovation in broadcasting.
