Journalist Ben Caspit announced on Wednesday that he has ceased broadcasting his joint program with Yinon Magal on 103FM radio. Caspit explained in a tweet that the reason for the halt is Magal's refusal to allow him to call Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "slave of Netanyahu" on air. According to Caspit, when he used the term, Magal prevented him from speaking further, issuing a warning before cutting him off.
Caspit further elaborated on his criticisms of Magal, citing Magal's support for Netanyahu and his defense of Jonathan Uriach. He also recalled previous statements made by Magal directed at bereaved families, former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, Einav Tsengauer, and voters of the Yesh Atid party. Caspit claimed that while Magal frequently insults and attacks him, Magal is unable to accept criticism directed at himself.
"I am willing to hear and absorb everything. I told him many times that he can call me any name he wants and say whatever he wants about me. For me, these are badges of honor," Caspit wrote, contrasting this with Magal's intolerance for the nickname Caspit uses for Netanyahu. Caspit concluded by stating that this disagreement is why he did not broadcast on Wednesday morning.
