Media personality Ayla Hasson is expected to leave Kan 11 after approximately three years as a presenter, according to a report from Wednesday. This follows a crisis stemming from a demand for an apology after remarks she made about women in the Bedouin sector. Hasson responded to the widespread support she received, stating, "Since yesterday, I have been flooded with support on a scale I never imagined. Citizens from all walks of life. Fighters, bereaved families. The people of Israel whom I love and am happy to be exposed to their reciprocity towards me. You move me in an extraordinary way, thank you from the bottom of my heart." She concluded her statement by saying, "Tonight too, I am not broadcasting." Hasson's controversy began after comments made on Radio Galey Israel, where she discussed Bedouin women in the Negev and linked their situation to political support for the "change bloc." She questioned the "change bloc" and its connection to the Muslim Brotherhood. Following criticism, Hasson posted a clarification and apology. However, the corporation's management deemed it insufficient and stated she could not host her program until a further, acceptable apology was issued. Hasson refused, calling the demand unfair and part of a political incitement campaign against her. She received support from figures like Amit Segal and Moria Asraf.
