Journalist and presenter Ayala Hasson burst into tears during an interview on Eli Tzipori's program on Radio Galei Israel, as she spoke about the attacks against her and the harm to her relatives. Hasson declared that she would not allow her voice to be silenced, described the personal connection she has formed with soldiers, bereaved families, and wounded individuals over the three years of the war, and struggled to understand why she is forced to deal with harm to her workplace. The interview took place against the backdrop of the ultimatum issued by the management of the public broadcasting corporation to Hasson: to read on air a clarification and apology in a pre-approved wording, following her statements about Bedouin women in the Negev and her claims regarding irregularities at polling stations in the Arab sector. Hasson published an apology for her remarks about the Bedouin women but refused the additional wording dictated to her. The interviewer Eli Tzipori admitted that he was struggling to hold back his tears.
