Avi Shoshan, known to Channel 14 viewers for his appearances on the program "HaPatriotim," is set to join the cast of "Survivor" on Reshet 13.

Shoshan's departure from Ichilov was also a subject of media attention. In January 2025, he claimed that his participation in "HaPatriotim" contributed to the circumstances leading to his dismissal. However, the hospital stated that his participation in the show was unrelated to his departure, asserting that the decision was made following controversy surrounding a press conference held by Yochved Lifshitz, who had been released from Hamas captivity.
The 14th season of "Survivor," titled "Survivor Karamoan," is scheduled to premiere on Reshet 13 on Saturday, October 24, 2026. This season will feature a format pitting ten celebrities from the worlds of media, music, and reality television against ten anonymous contestants.
Alongside Shoshan, the celebrity cast includes Shi Hai, Stefan Lazar, Shachar Saul, Lior Dayan, Emmanuelle Houri, Linor Savinik, Shila Dorfman, Lir Oz, and Shimon Vaknin. The season will be hosted by Guy Zuarz, who oversaw the show's filming in the Philippines.
