Broadcasters Ben Caspit and Yinon Magal are set to resume their joint program on 103FM after a dispute led to its suspension, according to a Walla report. The two have reached an agreement brokered by the station's new manager, Or Tselkovnik. A key compromise involves Caspit refraining from personally calling Magal "a slave," though the term "slavery" may still be used in a general context. Additional words that are off-limits have also been determined.
Magal addressed the emerging agreements during a broadcast, stating his boundary: "Your insistence on cursing me. We are negotiating with the station manager, while you insist on continuing to call me offensive names. I dismantle you day by day with arguments, and you cannot cope with my virtuosity. You will no longer call me a slave, because if you call me a slave, there will be no program."
The conflict erupted last month when Caspit called Magal "Netanyahu's slave" during their show. Following the confrontation, Caspit announced the program's cessation, explaining on Facebook that Magal was unwilling to accept the "slave of Netanyahu" label, which he felt was essential to his ability to broadcast. Following negotiations with the station's management, the two are now preparing to return to their shared airtime.
