An awkward moment unfolded on Channel 13's "Ptamim Yom" program when actress and model Hali Goldenberg realized her off-camera conversation with hosts was being broadcast live. Goldenberg, who was a guest in the studio, believed the cameras were off during a commercial break and continued to express her political views to the hosts and viewers.
The exchange began when host Elad Zohar questioned Goldenberg's previous statement about not being proud to be Israeli. Goldenberg responded, "I am not proud of who we are. The occupation led to everything that followed. Everything happening now is a result of the occupation." When asked what was wrong with the current situation, she added, "Everything! You see, the religious coercion, the settlers, the Jewish terrorism."
Zohar then brought up Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, arguing that a difficult security situation developed there despite the absence of Jewish settlements. Goldenberg compared this to the British Mandate period, asserting a minority's right to fight for freedom. When Zohar pressed her about whether this included the massacre of civilians and women, she replied with an analogy about a child becoming something a parent doesn't recognize.
The situation became particularly embarrassing when Goldenberg suddenly understood she was live, exclaiming in shock, "Wait, we were on the air?!" After Zohar confirmed they were broadcasting, she reacted with anger and embarrassment, stating, "This is not okay. You didn't say we were back on the air. I thought it was an off-screen conversation. I thought we were on commercials." Goldenberg added she was "really shocked" and unsure how to respond. Following the incident, the hosts took a commercial break, reportedly needing time to recover from the event.
