Co-host Shi Li Schindler passionately urged her colleague Kim Or Azulai to assert her Israeli identity during a live broadcast, after Azulai shared an experience where a US-based agent advised her against revealing she was from Israel. Schindler's strong reaction came as Azulai recounted how the agent, while seeking representation in the US, suggested she claim to be from Argentina instead of Israel, fearing it would complicate matters.
"Say you are from Israel. Say 'Israel Lives' and hit him back. And attack back," Schindler exclaimed on air, directly contradicting the agent's advice. Schindler's response was to encourage Azulai to do precisely what the agent warned against: to proudly state her Israeli origin.
Azulai also addressed a recent controversy surrounding her public breastfeeding. She admitted to initially being afraid to breastfeed in public but eventually overcame that fear. However, when asked if she would be willing to breastfeed on camera during a live broadcast of "Loop," Azulai declined, citing inconvenience. Despite this, she did not rule out the possibility of breastfeeding during future performances, suggesting a video of such an event might be shared later.
