After Network 13 canceled Lior Schlein's contract, the satirist and presenter demands more than NIS 45 million from the network as compensation. Industry insiders tell Walla! Culture because in the contract of a network in front of Schlein, it is obligated to produce more than 100 programs of "Back of the Nation" that have not yet been filmed, at a price of more than 300,000 shekels per program.

Sources in the network itself and in the industry claim to link Network 13's announcement of the cancellation of Schlein's contract to other steps recently taken by the channel, which appear to be a political shift to the right, flattery of Prime Minister Netanyahu, and a reduction in criticism of the channel. A senior official at Network 13 tells Walla! Culture: "It's a shame to lower the 'back of the nation'. The processes that are happening on the network are very worrying. Is the network going to be 'Israel Today'? I'm worried it's going to be a channel on behalf of, a channel that serves this government, a channel that is afraid to speak. "What kind of network communication is going to be produced? And who are the people who are going to invest in the network now, and an oligarch will come who is close to Bibi? It's just awful what's happening on my channel. A lot of disturbing things are happening on the network. The channel is suffering."

Opposition leader and chairman of Yad Atid, MK Yair Lapid, wrote on his Twitter account: "Lior Schlein started my career and continued it on my head. I'm not going to pretend it's not a pain sometimes, it felt a little excessive to me, but never. I thought he was doing something dishonest. It's no secret that of all the politicians in Israel, he will take care of me the most. Still, his program should not be taken down. Because politicians should sit at home and be afraid of programs like 'Back of the Nation'. Because one of our biggest problems today is having We have a political system that assumes no one will expose it. Because humor is not just humor - it's also the sharpest sword of truth. Schlein annoyed my constituents. My public. There are futurists in constant crisis over it. Our base thinks it's unbearable. The reasons why he should continue to broadcast. "

Network 13 announced a few days ago to Albino Productions, which produces the "Back of the Nation" program led by satirist and presenter Lior Schlein, on the cancellation of a contract. After the merger of Channel Ten with a network, Schlein Maasar returned to the network, where his program, previously titled "State of the Nation," began. The network offered Schlein a merger of a closed contract for several years. A few months ago, the program went off the air, but according to sources, Schlein still has about 100 programs that were not filmed, at a price of about NIS 300,000 per program. Industry sources further claim that Schlein's contract has no exit points from the network. According to them, the production company was not offered to continue the program at a lower amount or in another broadcast strip. Schlein, according to them, insists on his right to receive full payment for his full contract on all plans and demands more than NIS 45 million. Negotiations are likely to take place regarding the amount of compensation.

Network 13 declined to comment. Lior Schlein: "Unfortunately, at the moment I am still prevented from commenting."
