Segal takes on Berkovich: 'Need a yoga retreat after a week with you'

A heated confrontation between Erel Segal and Eyal Berkovich on 103FM radio following Benny Gantz's appearance. Berkovich attacked Netanyahu, calling him a 'swindler, liar, and fraud'; Segal called for reconciliation and unity, but Berkovich rejected the remarks and accused the Netanyahu camp of hatred and using shameful videos against Gadi Eisenkot.

A stormy confrontation erupted on 103FM radio between commentator Eyal Berkovich and journalist Erel Segal, following Benny Gantz's appearance. Berkovich harshly attacked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling him a 'swindler, liar, and fraud' and blaming him for the October 7 disaster and fleeing a state commission of inquiry. Segal tried to steer the conversation toward reconciliation and unity, saying that if Gadi Eisenkot or Yair Lapid win the elections, he would accept the results and expect Likud to cooperate as well. Berkovich rejected the remarks and pointed to a video published against Eisenkot, a bereaved father who lost his son in the war, using images from the massacre – a move he called 'unprecedented disgust'. Segal responded that criticism of the video is hypocritical, as the figure of Yoni Netanyahu was vilified for years. The confrontation reflects the deep political polarization in Israel surrounding Netanyahu's figure and his responsibility for the October 7 events.
