Avi Shoshan, a panelist on the Channel 14 program "The Patriots," expressed that he expected an apology from Yochved Lifshitz, a hostage survivor, following her release. Shoshan was previously dismissed from his role as spokesperson for Ichilov Hospital due to controversial statements made by Lifshitz during a press conference held at the hospital. Shoshan stated on the reality show "Survivor" that he felt wronged, as he was fired and Lifshitz never contacted him to apologize or acknowledge his pain. He recounted, "I wanted her to call me and say, 'Avi, I apologize. I understand your pain, you didn't deserve this.'"

Shoshan himself was recently placed on an enforced leave from "The Patriots" by Channel 14 until the conclusion of the "Survivor" program. The channel's management reportedly disapproved of his participation in the competing network's reality show, deciding he would not return to Channel 14 while appearing on Reshet 13.
