Amit Segal, the political commentator for Channel 12 News, has responded to a report by TheMarker suggesting he is considering a move to Channel 13. Segal did not directly address the specifics of the report but instead sharply criticized the media outlet that published it. "My opinion of Drucker is known, but my opinion of TheMarker is even more known," Segal wrote on his X account. "Take anything written in this propaganda pamphlet with a grain of salt."
The response comes after TheMarker reported that Segal, in closed-door discussions, had considered the possibility of moving from Channel 12 to Channel 13. According to the report, Segal is willing to consider the move to serve as a balancing factor at the channel but expressed reservations about Drucker's managerial involvement. The report also stated that Assaf Rappaport, one of the new owners of Channel 13, met with Segal in an attempt to recruit him. During these discussions, the possibility of Segal hosting a central political program was raised, along with conditions including a signing bonus. Segal's current response does not explicitly deny the existence of these contacts or the details attributed to him, limiting himself to advising his readers to treat TheMarker's publications with caution.
