In depth

Journalist and presenter Ayala Hason announced the end of her tenure at the public broadcaster Kan 11, after days of public storm and mutual accusations between her and the broadcaster's management. In a post on X, she wrote that she had decided to end her professional career at the broadcaster.

According to her post, the broadcaster's management demanded that she read an apology on air for her remarks, and Hason refused. She wrote that she would not be part of a system that seeks to silence whole and large voices of the Israeli people in order to please a certain camp, and sharply criticized the attempt to silence voices identified with the right.

Hason stressed that she is parting from the broadcaster but not from her journalistic mission and from her viewers, and wrote that the story is the desire to silence the voice of an entire public in Israel. Regarding her professional future, she said that we will meet again on screen soon, and in her announcement noted that she has already received many offers.
