Veteran Israeli news anchor Dalia Mazor, 76, was revealed as the Crane on the popular reality singing competition "The Masked Singer" (HaZemer BeMasked). Mazor performed the song "Crazy" on the show's stage but was ultimately eliminated despite receiving compliments from the judges.

In an interview following her reveal, Mazor described her experience on the show as "incredibly difficult," stating she didn't understand why she participated, as it was "not for my age, not for my back." She expressed mixed feelings after her solo performance, feeling relief that it was over due to the physical strain, but also disappointment at not being able to continue.

Mazor, who is no longer actively working but remains informed, volunteers at a polling station for the Democratic Party on election day, expressing a strong desire to "restore sanity to the country." She noted that while older generations recognize her and express nostalgia, younger people often don't know who she is. However, her participation in a sketch on the comedy show "Kupa Rashit" with Dov Navon led to children approaching her for selfies, a phenomenon she found amusing, often remarking that she could be their grandmother.

Mazor's appearance on "The Masked Singer" marked a return to the spotlight, though she clarified it was different from her previous on-air roles. She also mentioned her involvement in a sketch on the comedy show "Kupa Rashit" with Dov Navon, which led to younger fans recognizing her.
