Israeli television host and former national team footballer Eyal Berkovich is set to return to his program next Sunday, one week after being suspended for anti-Arab remarks made during a live broadcast. The decision to suspend Berkovich was made by the television channel's management following his comments on Saturday. The incident occurred during a discussion involving US Senator Abdul El-Sayed and Knesset Member Ahmad Tibi, both of whom have medical backgrounds. Berkovich questioned their academic qualifications and mocked their professional training. These statements prompted the channel's leadership to temporarily remove him from the air. Israeli media reports indicate that the suspension will last only one week, after which Berkovich will resume his hosting duties.
