Aliyah and Absorption Minister Pnina Tamano Shata (Blue and White) was excited to see two Ethiopian newscasters, Branu Tehene and Almaz Mangisto, share the screen.
"My picture of the day - this is Israeli pride, not from America," she tweeted.
Mangisto herself, however, was less impressed and responded, "In America they don't make a big deal about this - try not to here, either."
Mangisto, 28, began her journalistic career on Galei Tzahal before moving on to Channel 13 as a reporter for legal matters and investigations. Recently, she joined Channel 12 and plays a central part in its news broadcasts.
