Israeli Political Figures in Lighthearted Weekly News Roundup
The weekly "Not Really Important News" segment, hosted by Yossi Avro, covered a series of lighthearted political anecdotes and observations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a medal, prompting a comment about Israeli politician Yair Lapid's envy. Miki Golan was noted for speaking Russian, with a question posed about why she hadn't joined Avigdor Lieberman's political movement. Lieberman himself proposed eliminating 12th-grade classes, while Isaac "Buzi" Herzog was depicted as attending a Talmud Torah (a Jewish elementary school). Benjamin Netanyahu visited a school and asked students who wanted to become prime minister. Tal Gottlieb was mentioned as potentially moving to Itamar Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit party. The segment also included a humorous observation about trembling fish before Rosh Hashanah, referencing gefilte fish, and a mention of a Knesset member who allegedly wanted to physically assault someone in the parliament. The host, Yossi Avro, concluded his two-year broadcast anniversary with this week's roundup.
