Omer Waldman Accuses Einav Tsangoker of Physically Choking Her During Tel Aviv Confrontation

Omer Waldman, a panelist on the show "The Patriots," alleged that Einav Tsangoker physically choked her during a verbal confrontation outside the Kirya military complex in Tel Aviv. The incident reportedly occurred after Waldman, coming from a meeting with the Defense Minister, encountered a protest by left-wing groups and activists from "October 7th Survivors" who oppose the ongoing war, calling it "unnecessary and prolonged." Waldman confronted Tsangoker, who was among the protesters, criticizing her for standing with demonstrators who dismiss the war that brought her son home. Waldman described the encounter as escalating to physical violence, stating, "During the confrontation, she even choked me. Really, really like that." The revelation shocked the show's panel and host Yinon Magal. When asked about her feelings regarding the alleged physical attack, Waldman expressed sadness but said she was not surprised due to Tsangoker's history of violent statements. Waldman also noted that the entire event was recorded by bystanders, though she cynically predicted the footage might be edited to misrepresent the incident. Attempts to obtain a response from Einav Tsangoker were unsuccessful as of the report's publication.
