News 12 reporter and commentator Yaron Avraham has publicly denied speculation that he is the contestant hidden inside the "Tomato" costume on the current season of "The Masked Singer Israel." The show, which premiered in mid-October on Keshet 12, has sparked widespread guessing games among viewers about the identities of the masked performers. Avraham addressed the rumors in a humorous home video posted to social media, in which he discussed the possibility with his wife, Yael.
Initially, Avraham asked his wife if she believed he was the Tomato, intending to dismiss the idea. However, Yael suggested it was "not far-fetched," citing similarities between the clues presented on the show and Avraham's life. She pointed to the contestant's connection to religion and a clue about "mom's food" and being "mom's boy," referencing a weekly kugel dish, as matching Avraham's background.
Despite his wife's persistent analysis of the clues, Avraham insisted on his innocence. After Yael continued to argue that it was "possible" he was the Tomato, Avraham emphatically stated, "Okay, fine, I am not the Tomato, to be clear," leaving the mystery of the Tomato's identity unresolved for viewers.
The fifth season of "The Masked Singer Israel" features an expanded judging panel including Ofira Assayag, Shahar Hason, and Tzadi Tzarfati, joined by newcomers Bar Refaeli and Moshé Peretz. The show is hosted by Ido Rosenblum and showcases a variety of surprising costumes.
