Amit Segal, a political commentator for Channel 12 News, sharply criticized Yaron Zelekha, chairman of the Economic Party, who is running in the upcoming elections with Yoaz Hendel, chairman of the Reservists.

In an interview with Arutz 7, Segal accused Zelekha of hypocrisy, stating that while Zelekha claims to defend the poor, he was responsible for a reform that increased mobile phone costs. Segal further alleged that Zelekha later represented the "corrupt" electricity company workers' committee and then the Histadrut labor federation.

Segal also recalled that in 2019, Zelekha did not respond to his inquiries about the gas outline, a deal Segal credited with saving Israelis from rising energy prices and cold winters similar to those in Europe. Segal concluded by declaring he would not vote for Zelekha in the upcoming election, calling it a "full disclosure."

Segal also addressed a recent controversy involving leaked correspondences, stating that such practices are how journalists and commentators obtain information.
