Keshet 12 has filed an urgent request with the Tel Aviv Regional Labor Court seeking orders to prevent Itay Dankner, formerly its VP of Programming, from assuming the role of CEO at News 13 next week. Keshet 12 argues that Dankner should adhere to a four-month cooling-off period, as stipulated in his employment agreement, before joining the competing network. Dankner, in correspondence with Keshet, stated that he had proposed a compromise out of concern that Keshet might jeopardize his new position or infringe upon his rights, but this did not signify his agreement with the validity or legality of Keshet's demands.
