Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent interview on i24NEWS garnered a low rating of 2.1%, failing to attract a significant audience. This figure is notably lower than a previous interview he gave on Channel 14 on October 13th, which achieved a 4.1% rating. That earlier interview had ranked fourth among his last six appearances on the program and was about 30% below the peak rating for those shows. The i24NEWS interview, conducted by Sharon Gal, was in a different time slot and on a different channel, but still resulted in a disappointing viewership number.
Meanwhile, Keshet 12 dominated the evening's viewership across all time slots. The satirical show "Eretz Nehederet" (Wonderful Country) achieved particularly impressive ratings. In the late-night slot, "Avri & Surki" on Keshet 12 led with 10.3% and 265,000 viewers, significantly outperforming competitors. "Shulchan Ha'manachim" (The Operating Table) on Channel 14 followed with 3.3% and 90,000 viewers. "Ha'Tzinor" (The Tube) on Reshet 13 recorded 1.5% and 41,000 viewers, while the finale of "You Must Read This!" on Kan 11 garnered 1.4% and 46,000 viewers.
