Broadcaster Itamar Fleishman expressed admiration for Channel 12's Amit Segal, stating that Segal was responsible for half of the channel's election night ratings. Fleishman recalled watching Segal's performance during election night coverage, describing it as a "one-man show" where Segal "finished them off one by one."
Fleishman's comments came during a conversation with Noam Fathi, where they also discussed a letter sent by Justice Noam Solberg to the head of the Shin Bet regarding suspected fraud in Arab communities during elections. Fleishman predicted harsh criticism from the left for Solberg's actions, quoting, "You're going to find out what Kristallnacht is."
Fleishman also commented on an impersonation of Segal on the satirical show "Eretz Nehederet," criticizing it as a "scoundrelly imitation" that suggested the Prime Minister's office controlled Segal.
Meanwhile, Noam Zamir shared his own election night experience, broadcasting from the Likud headquarters. He observed Baruch Kra from Channel 13 and Yona Leibzon from Channel 12. Fleishman clarified that Leibzon was "not one of the bad guys."
Zamir recounted an incident around 12:30 AM when a producer approached Leibzon, who reacted to the election poll updates with "Oh dear." Zamir, however, found the Likud's rising poll numbers amusing, stating he had a smile on his face for the first time seeing the results.
