A loud argument erupted on the i24 news channel Tuesday evening between psychic Uzi Geller and Senior Superintendent Ephraim Erlich, known as "Karmashnit," during a discussion about elections and the Iranian threat. The segment began with Geller addressing undecided voters, urging them to cast their ballots. However, the conversation quickly devolved into a sharp exchange when Erlich interrupted Geller's remarks about Iran's alleged nuclear program.

Erlich cut Geller off, stating, "Uzi, with all due respect... I won't let you." Geller responded aggressively, accusing Erlich of always yelling at him. Erlich retorted that Geller was speaking nonsense and called him a "charlatan." The argument intensified when Erlich brought up a previous discussion Geller had about U.S. President Donald Trump's hair, accusing Geller of "charlatanism" and dismissing his claims.

Geller fired back, suggesting Erlich needed Trump's hair on his own head. Erlich then told Geller to stop lying and criticized those who believed him. Host Niv Gilboa attempted to de-escalate the situation and prevent Geller from leaving, pleading with him to stay. Despite Gilboa's efforts, Geller stood up, stating he could no longer listen, and walked out of the studio. Gilboa then confronted Erlich, protesting his treatment of their guest.
