Host Ilanit Levi stated she would quit entertainment if her son Liam Golan is revealed to be a contestant on "The Masked Singer." This came amid speculation that Liam was the "Tomato" character, which Levi dismissed. Guessing panelist Liron Zaid has shifted his focus from Liam Golan to singer Eliad Nachum for the "Tomato" mask, while also proposing Rona Lee Shimon and Alona Sa'ar for other masks. Actor Lior Kalfon denied being the "Elephant" mask.

  • Ilanit Levi threatened to quit entertainment if her son Liam Golan is revealed as a contestant on "The Masked Singer."
  • Speculation suggests Liam Golan was the "Tomato" mask, but Levi denied this possibility.
  • Panelist Liron Zaid now believes singer Eliad Nachum is the "Tomato" based on show clues.
  • Rona Lee Shimon and Alona Sa'ar were also suggested as potential masked singers.
  • Actor Lior Kalfon denied being the "Elephant" mask on the show.

Host Ilanit Levi has declared she would retire from the entertainment industry if her son, Liam Golan, is revealed to be one of the masked contestants on the current season of "The Masked Singer." Levi made the statement on her show "Galit and Ilanit" in response to speculation that Liam was disguised as the "Tomato" character. She insisted it was impossible, stating that if it were him, she would have been excluded from knowing his identity as a form of revenge for not being his "confidante" in the show.

Speculation about the masked singers has been intense, with guessing panelist Liron Zaid initially suspecting Liam Golan but later changing his mind. Zaid now believes Eliad Nachum is the "Tomato," citing clues such as a guitar with the Beitar Jerusalem logo, as Nachum is a fan, and references to light, linking to Nachum's song "Or" (Light).

Zaid also proposed Rona Lee Shimon as the "Onion," based on clues like the movie "Frieda" (a reference to her rumored breakup with Static) and a dance move towards the letter G, possibly referencing music producer Tomer G. Shimon denied this when Zaid messaged her directly.

Other guesses for the "Onion" included Alona Sa'ar, with Zaid pointing to her preference for afternoon weddings and the letter G possibly referring to her father, Gideon. For the "Pepper," Levi suggested Michal Ansky, daughter of Alex and Shari Ansky, linking the three masked characters as "children of." Zaid speculated that the "Pepper" might be children's entertainer Shahar Tabuch, connecting it to "Sky High Festigal" and his work with Rona Lee Shimon.

Separately, Zaid suspects actor Lior Kalfon is behind the "Elephant" mask, a claim Kalfon denied on air, stating he was unaware of the speculation.
