A heated exchange between former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Itamar Ben-Gvir, leader of the Otzma Yehudit party, outside the Walla news studio has been humorously recreated on the popular Israeli satire show "Eretz Nehederet." The television sketch featured actors Orall Tsabari as Ben-Gvir and Eran Zarchovich as Bennett.
The real-life confrontation occurred when both politicians arrived at the studio simultaneously. Ben-Gvir challenged Bennett to a debate, to which Bennett responded that he was running against Netanyahu, not Ben-Gvir, and refused the challenge. Bennett then accused Ben-Gvir of being afraid of terrorists and questioned his whereabouts on October 7th.
Ben-Gvir retorted, accusing Bennett of fearing a debate and of being willing to form a government with Mansour Abbas, calling Bennett a "traitor." Bennett countered that Ben-Gvir had previously supported a government with Abbas. Bennett then attempted to dismiss the confrontation, smiling and telling onlookers "everything is fine, I'm not afraid."
Security and staff intervened to separate the two men. As Bennett entered the studio, Ben-Gvir continued to urge him to debate, questioning his fear. The "Eretz Nehederet" episode then presented the comedic version of this intense political clash.
