Channel 13 presenter Lucy Aharish is expected to return to the airwaves following a heated confrontation with commentator Eyal Berkovich that had previously led her to refuse to broadcast. Although Berkovich has not apologized, the channel stated that the parties have resolved their issues and issued a condemnation of racism without naming the commentator. "Understandings and clarifications were reached," the channel said.

The dispute, first reported by Ynet, began on election night. Aharish became incensed when Moriyah Asraf called for the establishment of a Zionist government, which Aharish labeled as "racism." During a commercial break, Berkovich reportedly told Aharish, "Calm down, you are not in a village here."
