  • Kuti Sabag and Maya Bezalel ended their eight-year partnership and friendship.
  • The rift began after Maya Bezalel moved to Keshet 12.
  • Sabag was reportedly displeased with Bezalel's decision to leave their joint program.
  • The hosts no longer speak and Sabag blocked Bezalel on Instagram.
  • Their joint radio show "#Hitchalnu" is expected to end.

Radio hosts Kuti Sabag and Maya Bezalel, long considered a strong professional duo, have experienced a significant falling out after years of working together. The pair hosted a joint morning radio show for years and also appeared together on the Kan 11 program "Ma SheTagidu." However, Bezalel's recent move to Keshet 12 has reportedly strained their relationship, leading to both a professional separation and a personal disconnect.

Sources indicate that Sabag was displeased with Bezalel's decision to leave their shared program, and the two have not spoken since. The rift has escalated, with Sabag reportedly blocking Bezalel on Instagram. This personal fallout follows the news in late September that Bezalel would be joining Keshet 12 to host an entertainment program airing Sunday through Wednesday.

Their joint radio show, "#Hitchalnu" on Kan Gimel, and their participation in "Ma SheTagidu" are expected to conclude following this professional separation, ending nearly eight years of collaboration that had also developed into a close friendship. Bezalel commented on the situation, stating, "I love Kuti and wish him only the best and thank him for our time and journey together."
