Israeli media personality and journalist Ayala Hasson has announced her resignation from the public broadcasting corporation Kan 11. The decision follows escalating disputes and direct confrontation between Hasson and the station's management.

Hasson stated on her X account that she decided to end her career at Kan 11 because she would not be part of a system that seeks to silence broad segments of the Israeli public to satisfy a specific camp. Her departure comes after a storm of controversy erupted over remarks she made about Bedouin women during an interview on Galei Israel radio.

Hasson's refusal to issue a formal on-air apology led the station to suspend her. The crisis intensified further after private correspondence between Hasson and the deputy director of the news department at Kan 11 was leaked to the Ynet website.
