Channel 14 broadcast an unusual meeting between left-wing media personality Guy Maroz and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, as part of the series "Returning with an Answer." The meeting took place in Kiryat Arba and Hebron and included personal conversations, political confrontations, and surprising moments. Ben Gvir admitted he did not cry when Yitzhak Rabin was murdered, but clarified that he opposed physical harm to him. He claimed that the famous 1995 interview, in which he displayed Rabin's car emblem, was edited tendentiously. Regarding October 7, Ben Gvir stated that he demanded strong actions against Hamas but faced opposition, and that then-IDF Intelligence Chief Aharon Haliva told him Hamas was not seeking war. Maroz put on tefillin for the first time since age 13 at a synagogue in Hebron, and a confrontation developed between his wife Orly Vilnai and Ben Gvir's daughter Ayla over women's status. The meeting ended with a hug despite the differences of opinion.
