Journalist Ben Caspit has urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a televised debate challenge from former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, taunting the Prime Minister by asking, "What are you afraid of?"
Caspit, speaking on his radio program with Yinon Magal, suggested that Netanyahu, often dubbed "Mr. Television," is more verbally adept than Eisenkot and should not shy away from such a confrontation. He dismissed any potential excuse Netanyahu might offer for not participating.
The discussion also touched upon the official state memorial day for the October 7th massacre and the Sukkot holiday. Caspit questioned the timing and frequency of memorial days, using the example of Yitzhak Rabin, for whom he noted there are multiple commemoration dates.
Separately, Caspit and Magal discussed reports regarding warnings about the Flydubai flight. Caspit stated that the Emiratis had confirmed this to him, while Magal reported that the Emiratis had denied it.
