Andrea Kiewel could miss the anniversary television garden from Tel Aviv!

The ZDF television garden is facing an uncertain situation: presenter Andrea Kiewel could possibly be missing from the next edition of the popular show next Sunday. A spokeswoman for ZDF confirmed that it is currently unclear whether Kiewel can travel from Tel Aviv to Germany. The reason for this is the tense security situation due to the current conflicts between Israel and Iran. Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv is closed to all international flights until further notice due to Israeli attacks on targets in Iran. The next edition of the “ Fernsehengarten” is being advertised as Kiewel’s 25th anniversary, an event that should be celebrated with a celebration and prominent guests such as Joachim Llambi, as [radioenneperuhr.de](https://www.radioenneperuhr.de/artikel/zdf- Fernsehengarten-ohne-andrea-kiewel-2353660.html) reports.

For Kiewel, who has lived in Tel Aviv for years, the current situation is particularly challenging. Last weekend she experienced Iran's shelling of Israel first hand and reported that she was in fear of death. In an interview, she stated, "The night of the attack was the longest night of my life," while she was in the shelter of the house with her partner, waiting for help. Every Israeli knows what to do in an emergency: an emergency package with water, food and important utensils is essential. The terrible night left her shaking, packing her things as she thought of her family in Germany. Her mother, who will be celebrating her 93rd birthday next week, gave her strength in particular. t-online.de provides details on this.

Preparations for the anniversary

Kiewel's 25 years in the "TV Garden" should be celebrated with a lot of glamour. The station is planning a big celebration show with a retrospective of the last two and a half decades and a number of prominent guests. The plan is for the TV garden to take place in its usual form, but there could be an alternative if Kiewel cannot be present, reports [giessener- Allgemeine.de](https://www.giessener- Allgemeine.de/kino-tv/zdf- Fernsehengarten-wegen-israel-iran-kritik-ohne-andrea-kiewel-das-sagen-das-zdf-zr-93783621.html).

The current situation in Tel Aviv remains tense and is affecting not only Kiewel's travel plans, but also the entire production of the "TV Garden". ZDF has so far commented cautiously on the situation and is in direct communication with the presenter. It is currently uncertain whether and how the anniversary television garden can take place without Kiewel. Nevertheless, the hope for an early solution and a direct meeting between the iconic presenter and her fans remains.
