  • Itamar Fleishman offered to host a Netanyahu-Eisenkot debate at his home.
  • Fleishman also proposed to moderate the public confrontation.
  • Oded Menashe suggested he and Eden Harel join the event.
  • The offer came in response to Eisenkot's invitation for a public debate.

Television host Itamar Fleishman has offered to host a public debate between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the "Yashar" movement. Fleishman proposed that the event take place at his home, where he would also moderate the discussion. He made the offer in response to Eisenkot's invitation to Netanyahu for a public confrontation.

Fleishman humorously stipulated that the debate be held at his house, stating he had "no strength to travel anywhere." Radio host Oded Menashe, who joined the conversation, suggested Fleishman act as moderator, to which Fleishman agreed, assuring Eisenkot, "You can count on me, everything will be fine."

Menashe then proposed he and Eden Harel also attend the event, suggesting they could "sit together" and "do it in partnership." The hosts continued to playfully imagine the scenario of a debate at Fleishman's home involving Netanyahu, Eisenkot, Menashe, Harel, and Fleishman himself.

"Think about what ratings this would get, you, me, Eden, Bibi and Eisenkot in the same house," Menashe remarked. Fleishman concluded the playful exchange by calling the idea "perfect."
