Channel 10 says that Amroussi's addition is "the first step in the work plan designed to focus the channel's broadcasts and content on civil issues, and to give appropriate expression to all levels of Israeli society," but it is not impossible that the decision to add Amroussi also serves as a nod to Knesset members from the right side of the political map, who will soon be asked to come to the channel's aid.

Amrusi, 35, is well-known for her right-wing worldview. She is a resident of the Talmon settlement in Samaria, and during the evacuation of Gush Katif, she served as a spokesperson for Yesha.

The channel's talks with Amroussi began about a month ago, after already Published She is destined to be part of the Second Authority Council. After deliberation, Amrousi informed Arden that she is choosing a position at Channel 10.

While Erdan is currently formulating a bill that would remove Channel 2's Keshet and Reshet franchises from the channels' licenses, Channel 10 is working to find a legal channel that will help it obtain a franchise extension. One way to do this is to try to influence Erdan through Knesset members from the coalition factions.

""It could be," says Amroussi in response to the question of whether the decision to place her as a presenter is also related to the political struggles the channel is currently waging. "It's hard to ignore my headscarf, and my positions are known.".

According to her, "The fact that the channel wants to bring a variety of opinions, there's no need to rush and be cynical - there may be something real in it. I'm a fan of this 'charity' of a variety of opinions, I know what it's like to be a fig leaf, but I tend to believe that there's something honest and authentic here.".

According to Amroussi, "I only host one morning show a week. This is not what will change the picture regarding Channel 10. I assume that whoever has to decide about his future is smart enough not to get confused by it. This is not part of my set of considerations, I made this decision in accordance with what suits my professional considerations. I am in favor of saving Channel 10, but I am not joining in.".

Channel 10 reported the wink to right-wing Knesset members as "nonsense.".
