Israeli television host Roni Kovan, known for his interviewing skills, recently shared his perspective on election broadcasts and the controversy surrounding journalist Amit Segal's leaked WhatsApp messages. Speaking with Nadav Peri, Kovan described his first experience broadcasting from an election headquarters as "very boring," contrasting it with the excitement viewers feel at home. He suggested that the intensity of election night coverage is largely "a show."
Kovan also addressed the public reaction to Segal's leaked messages, stating that if "they opened our WhatsApps, they would discover more difficult things." This comment came during an interview with Peri, who recently concluded an 11-year tenure at Delek Group, specifically in its energy partnerships, now known as NewMed Energy.
Peri, who previously worked as a political correspondent and anchor for Channel 10, discussed his departure from Delek Group. Reports claimed he left with 12 million shekels, but Peri clarified that most of this amount went to taxes and that the figure represented his total compensation over 11 years, not a severance package. He also disputed earlier reports about his initial salary at the company, stating it was less than the reported 60,000 shekels per month.
