Journalist and commentator Chaim Levinson says he will cease his role as co-host of the “Ofira and Levinson” talk show on Channel 12 news, a week after it emerged that he had done work for the political consultancy company owned by Yisrael Einhorn, a key suspect in the Qatargate affair.
Levinson writes on X that he has submitted his resignation to the Keshet media group, and thanks co-host Ofira Asayag, “who is first of all a friend, and after that an excellent and special journalist, the best partner I could have asked for.”
Levinson was absent from last Friday’s broadcast over the affair.
