At the end of his program today at noon, Levi was surprised and entered the studio during the broadcast by the channel's reporters, the technical staff and network people who are usually behind the scenes, to thank him and pay him respect, and some of them had flowers in their hands.
The inscription appeared on the screen: "Amnon, thank you!".
An emotional Levy said with tears in his eyes: "I've been here for 18 years, it's a whole life. I've had many happy and happy and exciting moments as well as painful and difficult, like life itself. One of the things that will be very difficult for me to say goodbye to is the people who came here, it was fun to come in the morning and meet you".
Levy added in a voice choked with tears: "I am a man of the people. I have plans for writing and plans that excite me that I am going to do, but I know that your absence will be the biggest difficulty I will have to face, because I really love these people very much, I am very, very excited You are here as you see me. I hoped that this would not happen, I knew that I was emotional and that I would react like this. So thank you all very much. I know that our channel is in a difficult time, but I implore you not to lose heart, I have worked with all the channels and you really are the best. Fight. Fight for this house, because it is a house worth fighting for. Thank you very much."
The people of the channel cheered for Levy for a long time.

News 13 journalist Matan Khodorov said to Levy: "On behalf of everyone who is here, we at News 13 and 10 have known many goodbyes over the years. I think that we rarely felt that we were losing flesh, a person who is very close to all of us on a professional and personal level, a person whose television presence but also His values and social values are so significant to the daily lives of all of us as journalists in this place. In my view, it is a privilege for the place to give you up and we are sorry that this is the decision and that this is how it looks today. And yet, there is no doubt that you are leaving us when you are at your peak, you have a lot to give wherever you go, and all of us We will continue the joint work and what we have learned from you over many, many years of doing. I want to say again on behalf of all of us here - many thanks and great success."
Levy has been among Channel 10's presenters since 2005, when his consumer show "Screensaver" moved there from Channel 2 when the Telad franchise ended its broadcasts.
Since then he has presented programs on Channel 10 such as "Pani Amitayot", "Haredim", "The Sectarian Demon", "The Haredi" and "The Gangsters".
With the merger of the network and Channel 10, Levy began broadcasting the daily strip at six in the evening, but as part of other plans of the network, he was asked to move to another slot, as mentioned.
From the beginning of the month, Meshet said that they "thank Amnon for his many years of activity".
