Political commentator Amit Segal, currently with Channel 12 News, is reportedly considering a move to the rival Channel 13, according to a report by TheMarker. Segal has indicated that he would only consider joining Channel 13 if there were a shift in the power dynamics within the news organization. He expressed willingness to join to serve as a balancing force but strongly objects to the managerial involvement of investigative and current affairs presenter Ravid Drucker.
The report follows a previous revelation by TheMarker that Assaf Rappaport, one of the new owners of Reshet 13, met with Segal at least once to recruit him. During these discussions, Segal was offered the lead role in a central political program along with a generous package, including a signing bonus.
Segal and Drucker have a well-documented history of public disagreements and friction, both in the media and on social networks. Drucker is considered a highly prominent and recognizable figure at Channel 13.
Neither Amit Segal nor Ravid Drucker provided a comment on the matter. Reshet 13, however, denied the report's details, stating that the claims are untrue and that no recruitment attempt or offer of any kind was made to the commentator.
