The Keshet television franchise has suspended The Ofira and Berkovic news interview program for a week following co-host Eyal Berkovic's comments on the Arab MKs.

Keshet said, "What was said in the program deviated from the line of freedom of expression advocated by the company. Due to the gravity of the matter, it was decided to dedicate the next few days to examining the procedures and rules. Therefore the program will not be broadcast this coming Friday."
