Israeli journalist and political commentator Haim Levinson, known for his direct style and sharp remarks, made a television appearance on Tuesday on i24NEWS. He was featured in the election broadcast hosted by Miri Michaeli, marking his return to the screens after a period of absence.
Levinson, who previously worked for the newspaper Haaretz from 2008 until October 2025, was dismissed following a report that he received approximately 200,000 shekels from the company "Perception," owned by media consultant Yisrael (Shrulik) Einhorn. The payments were for work done between 2019 and 2024, including writing articles during elections in the Balkans. Levinson apologized for not fully disclosing the income but maintained the work was unrelated to his journalistic role and not for Qatar.
Following the Haaretz dismissal, Levinson also announced his departure from the television program "Ofira and Levinson" on Channel 12 in November 2025. He had co-hosted the show with Ofira Assaig since 2024. In September 2026, Levinson gave an interview discussing his departure from Haaretz and Channel 12 and the criticism he faced.
Earlier, in April 2026, it was reported that Levinson began publishing a weekly column on the "100 Mahashet" platform, focusing on politics, society, social media, and culture. In a notable interview, Assaig told Levinson she took their professional separation harder than her separation from another prominent figure, implying the depth of their past working relationship.
