Gal's tenure at i24NEWS lasted approximately one year and nine months. His return to Channel 14, where he previously co-anchored the central news edition alongside Magi Tsvib, comes shortly before the upcoming Knesset elections. According to Srugim, the move follows an unsuccessful attempt by Gal to rejoin Channel 13.
This transition is part of a career marked by frequent shifts between major Israeli media outlets. Gal began his career at Channel 10, later hosted "Five with Sharon Gal" on Reshet 13, and first moved to Channel 14 in February 2023. His departure from Channel 14 in January 2025 was contentious, involving a legal contract dispute when the network refused to accept his resignation to return to Reshet 13.
