Noh Dromi Departs i24NEWS Friday Program for Family Time

Noh Dromi, host of i24NEWS' "Cabinet Layla" (Friday Edition), announced on Wednesday that she will be leaving the program after two years. Her departure will occur after the upcoming election period. Dromi stated that the decision came after prolonged deliberation, citing the difficulty in balancing her hosting duties, which often extend into Shabbat, with her family life and travel between central Israel and the north.

Dromi explained that when she joined i24NEWS two years ago, she felt compelled to be part of a "media revolution" and to provide a Friday broadcast that resonated with Israel's traditional, Zionist, and patriotic public, values she felt were underrepresented. She noted that her personal connection to this demographic also presented challenges in balancing work and family, especially on Fridays and with her commute.

She informed program editor Moshe Harosh and channel director Yisrael Tuvito of her decision several months ago. They agreed to continue until after the elections, after which she would vacate her role as "Cabinet Layla" host. Dromi acknowledged the importance of her role and the program's impact, but ultimately stated, "The status that speaks to me right now is that of the Shabbat table with my children and husband."

Dromi clarified that her exit is not immediate and she will continue to host the program through the dramatic election period. She will remain with i24NEWS and is already working on a new program. "This is just the beginning, and of course, we will meet on the i24NEWS screen in another slot and a new program that is already in the works," she said.
