Gantz Confronted With Harsh Criticism After TV Interview

Benny Gantz, a prominent Israeli politician, was subjected to a harsh personal attack by a Channel 13 employee immediately after concluding an interview on the network's main evening news broadcast. The incident occurred backstage, away from the cameras, after Gantz had finished his on-air segment.

According to eyewitnesses and a report from Channel 13 employee Ran Boker, the staff member approached Gantz and directly accused him, saying, "You are a disgrace. You are helping keep Netanyahu in power." This sharp criticism was delivered shortly after the interview ended, transforming Gantz's departure from the studio into an unusual event.

Instead of a standard farewell, Gantz faced direct personal criticism from a channel employee. While the confrontation took place off-air, the fact that a staff member addressed a political interviewee with such a severe accusation immediately after their segment prompted Channel 13 to acknowledge the incident.

Channel 13 issued a statement expressing regret over the event, adding that the matter would be investigated and handled by the relevant authorities. The incident, which happened after the interview concluded, quickly became the focal point of the story, with Channel 13 expected to examine the employee's conduct.
