Channel 14 reporter Shira Kai Cohen was subjected to verbal abuse during a live broadcast in Tel Aviv on Wednesday. The incident occurred while Cohen was conducting a street poll and asking a resident about recent election poll results. The man she was interviewing was interrupted by a passerby who shouted at the reporter, "Heil Hitler. You are a Nazi." The outburst was apparently a reaction to Channel 14's extensive coverage of the election, where Arab parties were projected to win 17 seats. Despite the interruption, Cohen continued the broadcast, remarking sarcastically, "Yes, these are the voices and the beautiful side of Tel Aviv. How nice that we managed to achieve this." In separate news from the channel, Yaara Zerad concluded her role as the daily presenter for the program "Five." Zerad had announced her departure the previous week, citing personal reasons after a challenging year. She expressed gratitude to the team and assured viewers that she would continue to appear on Channel 14 for broadcasts and commentary, taking a short break from her daily hosting duties.
