With the Israeli elections less than two weeks away, commentator Amit Segal has issued a warning regarding Yaron Zelekha, the chairman of the Economic Party. Segal expressed skepticism about Zelekha's economic proposals, urging voters to "do their homework" on the candidate.

Segal criticized Zelekha's past actions, stating that he represented "the rottenest committee there is." He specifically cited Zelekha's role in a reform that increased cellular costs for consumers, which Segal argued was unjustified. Segal also mentioned Zelekha's representation of the Israel Electric Corporation workers' committee and the Histadrut labor federation, describing them as corrupt.

Segal recalled an instance in 2019 when he approached Zelekha for a response regarding the gas outline, a deal Segal credited with preventing price hikes and cold winters similar to those in Europe. According to Segal, Zelekha did not respond at the time.

"I'm trying to say that I suggest to all these voters, full disclosure, as you understood, I am not voting for Zelekha this time," Segal stated. He added that while he supports a discussion on economics, he believes voters need to thoroughly research Zelekha's platform. Segal concluded by inviting Zelekha to an interview on his program, "Meet the Press."
