Hagai Segal, father of political commentator Amit Segal, sharply criticized the satirical show "Eretz Nehederet" (A Wonderful Country) for a segment aired before Channel 12's election poll broadcast. The show featured a caricature of Amit Segal presented in a ridiculous light, portraying him as a mouthpiece for Prime Minister Netanyahu.
