Keshet 12 host Ofira Assayag shared behind-the-scenes updates on her WhatsApp channel, joking about co-host Barak Seri losing his voice and commenting on media splits.
Ofira Assayag, the prominent host of Keshet 12, continues to offer audiences a glimpse behind the scenes of the Israeli media industry. Through her newly launched WhatsApp broadcast channel, she shares regular updates, behind-the-scenes reports, and personal commentaries with her followers.
Behind the Scenes Drama and Humor
Addressing her followers, Assayag revealed that her co-host, political commentator Barak Seri, unexpectedly lost his voice just ahead of their upcoming broadcast. Quip-filled as ever, Assayag joked that the sudden loss of voice was due to a mild virus rather than any studio shouting matches with co-panelist Eli Ohana, promising to bring him a traditional Moroccan remedy.
The lighthearted post precedes the latest episode of "Ofira, Ohana and Seri," airing Friday at 18:00 on Keshet 12. The trio has been hosting the current affairs and discussion program since earlier this year following format revisions and the departure of Haim Levinson, frequently engaging in lively debates on politics and public affairs.
Media Departures and Personal Rifts
Assayag also weighed in on another major local media story regarding Maya Bezalel-Assis and her recent high-profile professional departure from her longtime radio partner Kuti Sabag at Kan Gimel, following her move to Keshet 12.
According to entertainment reports, the professional split led to a personal rift after Sabag allegedly grew frustrated with her decision to leave their morning show. Reports claim the two stopped speaking and that Sabag blocked his former co-host on Instagram.
Commenting on the situation, Assayag urged industry colleagues to part ways amicably, pointing to her own professional transitions as an example of graceful exits while adding a signature touch of humor.
