Illusionist Uri Geller abruptly left the i24NEWS studio on October 27, 2026, following a heated on-air confrontation. The incident began when Geller attempted to address viewers about the Iranian nuclear program and encourage voter turnout, warning of Iran's alleged efforts to build an atomic bomb underground. His remarks, however, drew a sharp rebuke from commentator Ephraim Erlich.
Erlich accused Geller of speaking nonsense, calling him a "charlatan" and dismissing his claims, referencing a past incident involving a "Trump hair" stunt. The exchange escalated into a personal dispute, with Geller responding with a jab about Donald Trump before shaking hands with fellow guest Pnina Rosenblum and exiting the studio hosted by Niv Gilboa.
The host, Gilboa, questioned Erlich's aggressive reaction, asking why he was driving guests away. The segment, which started as a discussion on the Iranian threat and elections, devolved into a personal argument, concluding with Geller's departure.
