Israeli media personality Avri Gilad announced Saturday evening that he intends to host his regular program on Keshet 12 alongside Yair Sherki, despite experiencing facial paralysis. In a social media video, Gilad addressed his condition with humor, stating his intention to proceed with the broadcast. "If you had nothing to think about during Shabbat, and you wondered if the person with the crooked face would return to broadcast tonight with Sherki, the answer is clearly yes," Gilad said. He added, "The face is crooked, but reality is more crooked, and we need to deal with it to straighten it out." Gilad promised to meet viewers around 11:00 PM. On Friday, Gilad revealed he had been diagnosed with Bell's palsy, a condition causing temporary paralysis of facial muscles on one side. He described waking up to find half his face paralyzed and has since sought medical evaluation and begun treatment, though the duration of his recovery remains unknown.
