The Israeli comedy trio 'Ma Kashar,' comprised of Tzion Baruch, Assi Israeloff, and Shalom Michaelashvili, is bringing back their iconic sketch show 'HaYisre'elim' (The Israelis) for a new season on Channel 13. The show, which became a cultural phenomenon two decades ago, is set to return approximately 20 years after its initial run.

The new season will feature beloved characters from the original series alongside new ones, aiming to reflect the changes in Israeli society over the past two decades. The trio intends to recapture the original show's humor, adapting it to the realities of Israel in 2027, the year the new season is set to depict. This return comes at a time when sketch comedy programs have become relatively rare on commercial television.

'HaYisre'elim' was a significant cultural success, with its sketches, characters, and catchphrases extending beyond the screen into popular culture. The revival is also part of Channel 13's recent efforts to bolster its entertainment programming. Notably, Assi Israeloff was also recently announced as the host for the new season of 'Monit HaKesef' on the same channel, indicating a significant presence for the trio on Channel 13.

The exact premiere date for the new season of 'HaYisre'elim' has not yet been announced.
