An unusual incident occurred during a live broadcast on Channel 13 News when Yigal Brand, CEO of the World Leadership of Beitar and a reserve major, abruptly left the studio panel. Brand, who served 600 days in reserve duty, was injured during the war, and stated he was unwilling to participate in a discussion alongside Knesset Member Yousef Jabareen, chairman of the Joint List. "Excuse me, I've completed 600 days of reserve duty, fought in Gaza and Lebanon, and was also injured. I will not sit in a studio with a supporter of terrorism," Brand declared to those present.

Immediately after his statement, Brand removed his microphone, did not wait for reactions from other panelists, stood up, and exited the studio in protest of Jabareen's participation in the panel.
