News anchor Ayelet Hasson announced Tuesday evening that she is leaving her position at the Public Broadcasting Corporation following internal disputes. In her statement, Hasson declared, "I will not be part of a system that seeks to silence entire, significant voices within the nation of Israel to appease a certain camp. Public broadcasting is not the property of any camp. It belongs to all citizens of Israel, and no one has the right to turn it into a tool to appease one camp at the expense of another."

Hasson's departure comes amid what she described as "drama between the sides," indicating internal conflict within the organization. She expressed her belief that the public broadcaster should serve all Israelis and not be used to favor a particular political faction.
