Radio host Eyal Berkovich ignited a firestorm during a heated discussion with Yinon Magal on 103FM, focusing on the political landscape and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Berkovich proposed a scenario to Magal, questioning the principle of the largest party forming the government, which Magal rejected, suggesting that the size of a bloc is more important. Berkovich dismissed the concept of a 'bloc,' using a metaphor about yellow cheese. The argument escalated when Berkovich raised a hypothetical situation involving Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot potentially collaborating for the sake of Israel, a prospect he disliked. When Magal suggested a rotation government, Berkovich reacted with frustration, comparing it to Benny Gantz's previous rotation, and accused Magal's side of being unable to live without Netanyahu. He then posed a shocking question: "What will happen if he dies? What will happen if, God forbid, he dies? What will happen?" Magal inquired if Berkovich believed Netanyahu would die, to which Berkovich responded, "We will all die." He then reiterated his point about the problematic reliance on Netanyahu. Earlier that day, Berkovich had expressed strong disappointment regarding potential political alliances between the 'change bloc' and religious parties, stating he would be extremely angry if Eisenkot formed a government with them.
