Journalist and Channel 12 commentator Amit Segal has responded sharply to a report suggesting attempts to recruit him to rival Channel 13. The report, published in "The Marker," claimed that Rappaport had met with Segal to explore the possibility of him joining Channel 13.
Segal took to social media platform X to criticize the report, stating, "My opinion of Drucker is known, but my opinion of The Marker is even more known. Take anything written in this propaganda pamphlet with a grain of salt." Segal is considered a prominent political commentator in Israel, and his potential move to Channel 13 was seen as a significant step for the network's renewal efforts, potentially aiming for a more diverse and balanced editorial line, given Segal's identification with the political right.
Despite the reported recruitment attempt, the article indicates that Segal is not currently expected to leave Channel 12 or accept the offer.
