News anchor Magi Tביבי hosted Channel 14's election night broadcast for an uninterrupted 11 hours. The program began at 7:00 PM on Tuesday and concluded after an extensive coverage of the election results.
At the end of the marathon broadcast, Tביבי expressed gratitude to the team of commentators who sat with her throughout the night, calling them "the best and leading team of commentators in Israel." She also thanked "the Creator of the world," echoing sentiments previously expressed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and concluded the broadcast with the verse, "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever."
This practice of concluding broadcasts with a religious expression has become a hallmark of Tביבי's programming since March. She stated at the time that she would thank God nightly for miracles concerning Israel and its soldiers until the war's end. Tביבי has become a prominent voice at Channel 14, bridging current events with the channel's viewers' Jewish roots.
Previously, Tביבי faced criticism for breaking the fast of the 17th of Tammuz live on air, with some viewers accusing her of religious coercion and believing media should remain secular. In a speech at a conservatism conference, she defended her open expression of faith, stating, "I am proud of my roots, they are my source of strength. This is the heart of what Channel 14 represents."
