Israeli Journalists Ayala Hasoon and Raviv Drucker Trade Barbed Insults Online
A public feud between Israeli journalists Ayala Hasoon and Raviv Drucker has escalated, with both trading sharp accusations on social media platform X. The dispute reignited after Drucker, in an interview, criticized Hasoon and other right-leaning journalists who previously worked at Channel 13, calling their broadcasts "garbage and lies." Drucker also claimed Hasoon left Channel 13 due to financial negotiations, a statement she vehemently denies.
Hasoon responded fiercely, accusing Drucker of being "a liar and superficial" and attempting to mislead the public. She countered his claim about her departure, stating she refused his alleged requests to co-host a program with him due to her higher ratings compared to his. Hasoon also referenced a meeting with Drucker, requested by the news director, which she described as "unforgettable" and where she gained insight into "crazy things" happening on his program.
Drucker, in turn, attacked Hasoon's credibility and ratings, questioning how he could have asked her to co-host to boost his own low ratings when he hadn't yet hosted a show. He also alluded to a "memorable" coffee meeting with Hasoon, implying it revealed the "crazy" nature of her on-screen activities. The exchange highlights a bitter rivalry between the two prominent Israeli media personalities.
