Channel 14's central news anchor, Magi Tביבי, concluded an 11-hour election results broadcast late Tuesday night with a prayer of thanksgiving. She recited, "Give thanks to God, for He is good, for His mercy endures forever," a phrase she has been using to end broadcasts for months. Tביבי explained that this practice, which began on the eve of the Hebrew month of Nisan, is a consistent theme she promotes on Channel 14, bridging current events with the Jewish roots of the audience. She stated that this expression of faith is not coincidental and aligns with the approach of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who also publicly thanks God. Tביבי has previously described this practice as a way to counter the notion that faith is something private or primitive, asserting her pride in her roots as a source of strength and a core representation of Channel 14's values. She also recounted an instance where she broke the fast of the 17th of Tammuz live on air, calling it a historic moment for Israeli television.
