Yinon Magal Intervenes as Interview Spirals into Heated Exchange on Patriotim

An interview with Professor Yaron Ze'likha on Channel 14's program 'HaPatriotim' devolved into a loud argument between Ze'likha and the panel members. During the peak of the confrontation, host Yinon Magal stood up from his seat and approached Ze'likha to calm him down. The first clash erupted during a discussion about the right-wing and the government. Ze'likha raised his voice, prompting Magal to get up, place a hand on Ze'likha's shoulder, and say, "One second, one second, one second." Ze'likha responded with a smile and laughter, recounting that his spokesperson had warned him the interview might turn into a 'Ran Drukker 2' situation, to which he replied that Magal would not treat him that way. Magal again placed his hand on Ze'likha's shoulder, returned to his seat, and the interview continued.

However, tensions rose again towards the end of the program. Panelist Yaki Adamker addressed Ze'likha, offering advice: "First, a free recommendation as a friend, when you're at home and shouting with someone else, you don't hear a single word you're saying. That's one thing." Ze'likha interrupted him, exclaiming, "Don't lecture me! Don't lecture me!" Adamker retorted, "You've been sitting here lecturing us for an hour!"
