The internal ethics committee of the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation convened on Monday to review controversial remarks made by prominent broadcaster Ayla Hasson regarding Bedouin women in the Negev.

The committee, chaired by Dr. Uri Paz, launched the inquiry following statements Hasson made during a radio interview on Galei Yisrael while discussing the political landscape and the so-called change bloc.

During the broadcast, Hasson criticized the demographics associated with the political coalition, describing the situation of Bedouin women in the Negev and making contested claims regarding polygamy, divorce, and social security allowances.

The veteran journalist further claimed that many of these women originate from Palestinian areas such as Dura, Hebron, and Gaza, questioning the ideological alignment of the political forces and expressing sharp criticism of coalition dynamics.
