Eyal Berkovich Returns to Channel 13 with Heated On-Air Clash Against Moria Asraf

Eyal Berkovich resumed his hosting duties on Channel 13 after a vacation on Monday, but his return quickly sparked a sharp confrontation with co-host Moria Asraf. The dispute began even before the panel discussion started, when Asraf asked the panelists if they were glad to see Berkovich back. Berkovich responded by claiming many viewers were happy about his return, accusing the studio of becoming "half Channel 14" in his absence. Asraf countered that she had received opposite feedback from viewers, who were glad Berkovich was not present, and rejected his comparison to Channel 14.

Asraf insisted the studio was a space for journalists, emphasizing that Berkovich was not one and that his remarks were intended to harm others. She also criticized Berkovich's style of speaking about politicians, saying it discouraged some politicians, including those he might support, from appearing on the show. The tense exchange highlighted ongoing tensions between the two hosts shortly after Berkovich's comeback to the network.
