Mystic Uri Geller abruptly left the i24NEWS election program studio on Tuesday evening after a heated argument with panelist Efraim 'Kremshnit' Erlich. Geller had been invited to the program hosted by the host to share his predictions for the election results.

The confrontation escalated when Geller discussed Iran's nuclear program, claiming "a bomb under the ground in Iran, under the mountain" and that Iranians were "assembling an atom bomb" at that very moment. Erlich, seated across from Geller, interjected, calling Geller a "liar" and telling him to "stop talking nonsense."

Erlich further taunted Geller, asking if he had "brought Trump's wig," to which Geller retorted that Erlich might need it on his own head. The exchange devolved into personal insults, with Erlich telling Geller that "everyone has figured out your nonsense" and that he should "stop lying to all those who eat your stories."

Host the host attempted to intervene, angrily asking Erlich if he was "kicking out guests." Other panelists, including Pnina Rosenblum and Shlomo Maoz, also tried to de-escalate the situation, but Erlich refused to retract his statements, insisting Geller was a "liar."

Geller then asked if he should leave so Erlich would apologize. Despite the host's request for him to stay, Geller decided to end his participation. He stood up, shook Pnina Rosenblum's hand, and angrily exited the studio while the live broadcast continued.
