Israeli journalist Itamar Fleishman has publicly responded to an initiative by Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yashar Party, to hold open debates with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Fleishman, as reported by Channel 14, stated he is prepared to moderate such a meeting and even offered to host it at his own home. He humorously added that the politicians would have to come to him, as he lacks the energy to travel.
During a broadcast discussion of the idea, fellow journalist Oded Menashe supported Fleishman's proposal, expressing a desire to join the event with Eden Harel. Menashe suggested a team format, involving all participants as discussion partners. The journalists noted the unique potential of such a televised event, with Menashe emphasizing that the joint appearance of the prime minister, an opposition politician, and media personalities in a single residence would attract significant audience attention and ensure high ratings. Fleishman agreed with this assessment, calling it an ideal scenario for Israeli television.
