Maya Bezalel Sets New Midday Show on Keshet 12 with Tomer Ovadia
Maya Bezalel prepares for her new Keshet 12 midday show, bringing content creator Tomer Ovadia on board following her departure from Kan 11 and split from Kuti Sabag.
Maya Bezalel is embarking on a new chapter in her television career following her departure from Kan 11 and her long-standing partnership with Kuti Sabag. The presenter, who has joined Keshet 12 to lead a new daily midday program, is expanding her team.
Content creator Tomer Ovadia announced during an appearance on comedian Asaf Mor Yossef's podcast that he has been cast in Bezalel's upcoming show. This will not be Ovadia's television debut, as he recently joined actor Lidor Edri in Israeli media's satirical program "Mah SheTagidu", where Bezalel and Sabag also participated. Ovadia and Edri, well-known for their podcast "Hachamim Gedolim", now find themselves broadcasting on competing networks.
The new program is scheduled to air live from Sunday through Wednesday, with Bezalel at the helm alongside additional content contributors. Keshet 12 plans to feature discussions on current affairs, culture, entertainment, and celebrity news, supported by a rotating panel of participants. The show will compete in the midday timeslot against Reshet 13's "HaDoch HaYomi", hosted by Kobi Maht.
Bezalel's move to Keshet 12 comes after seven years of broadcasting alongside Sabag in Israeli media Gimel and Kan 11. Despite reports of tension following the split, Bezalel offered warm parting words during her final broadcast, thanking Sabag for the shared journey, laughter, and years behind the microphone.
