Yinon Magal, host of the program 'HaPatriotim' on Channel 14, has decided to reinstate panelist Avi Shoshan to the show. Shoshan had been suspended from Channel 14 broadcasts due to his participation in the reality show 'HaYeredot' on Channel 13.

Shoshan expressed his gratitude to Magal on social media, stating, "Personal thanks to Yinon Magal, my friend. Tonight at 9 PM on HaPatriotim."

Shoshan's time on 'HaYeredot' was marked by controversy, including heated confrontations with fellow contestant Lir Oz. He made remarks such as "the country's bitch" and "shut your mouth" towards Oz. Following his elimination, Shoshan posted an apology, acknowledging his mistake and stating, "There is no place for such an expression towards any person. I am a father to a daughter, and as I told her, 'I made a serious mistake.'" He also mentioned apologizing to Oz on camera in front of the tribe members. Shoshan had reportedly requested personal security due to receiving threats against his children's lives.
