Channel 12 commentator Amit Segal has responded for the first time to rumors of a potential move to Channel 13, following a report that the new owner of Reshet 13 is attempting to recruit him. Segal sharply criticized TheMarker, the outlet that published the report, calling it a "propaganda pamphlet." The controversy arose after Channel 13 issued a denial of the recruitment report. A report in Channel 13, under the headline "Amit Segal in closed talks: 'Not ruling out a move to 13, but not while Raviv Drucker is in charge,'" cited sources within Channel 13 stating no attempt was made to recruit Segal. Segal shared this publication and wrote, "My opinion of Drucker is known, but my opinion of TheMarker is even more known. Take anything written in this propaganda pamphlet with a grain of salt." TheMarker had reported that Assaf Rappaport, the new owner of Reshet 13, is working to recruit prominent media figures from competitors, and that a recent meeting was held with Segal as part of this effort to bring him to Channel 13. While Channel 13 denies any recruitment attempt, Segal himself neither confirms nor denies the report, nor does he directly address the claim about the meeting itself. Instead, he chose to attack TheMarker and the credibility of its publication.
