Illusionist Uri Geller abruptly left the i24NEWS studio during a live election broadcast after a heated exchange with a retired police lieutenant colonel, Efraim Erlich, also known as "Kremshnitt." Geller, a vocal supporter of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had been addressing viewers who had not yet voted, urging them to cast their ballots and warning of Iran's nuclear program. Anchor the anchor objected to Geller's remarks, deeming them electioneering on election day. Erlich then aggressively confronted Geller, calling his statements "nonsense" and "bullshit," and referencing Geller's past claims about bending spoons and a hair from Trump. Geller, surprised by Erlich's outburst, decided to walk off the set in protest. The anchor admonished Erlich for causing their guest to leave, asking "What do you want from him? Don't go, sit down. What, are you chasing guests out of the studio?" Geller, who gained international fame for his spoon-bending feats and claims of psychic abilities, was born in Tel Aviv in 1946. After living in England for many years, he returned to Israel and resides in Jaffa, where he has established a museum for his private collection. He continues to be a public figure, commenting on various topics including the paranormal and aliens.
