News commentator Amit Segal has responded to reports suggesting he might move to Channel 13, calling the claims "limited in scope." The reports, published by TheMarker, stated that Channel 13 owner Asaf Rappaport met with Segal to recruit him. Segal, a commentator for Channel 12, dismissed the report on his social media, stating, "My opinion of Drucker is known, but my opinion of TheMarker is even more known. Take everything written in that propaganda pamphlet with a grain of salt."
According to TheMarker's report, Segal indicated in private conversations that he would not rule out a move to Channel 13, but only under the condition that Re'ev Drucker, a prominent anchor at Channel 13, does not manage "all the affairs." Segal reportedly expressed a desire to be a "balancing factor" at the channel. The report also claimed that Segal was offered a new political program, a signing bonus, and a high salary during his meeting with Rappaport.
Segal and Drucker have a long-standing public rivalry on social media. Drucker is a key talent at Channel 13, hosting the programs "HaMekor" and "Ezorei Bechira." Channel 13 issued a statement denying the report, asserting, "The reporter's claims are incorrect. No attempt was made to recruit Amit Segal to Channel 13, and certainly no offer was made."
