Reserve Major Yigal Brand, who served over 600 days in reserve duty in Gaza and Lebanon and was wounded during the war, walked off a television studio set when MK Yousef Jabareen was added to the panel. Brand stated he refused to sit in the same studio with someone he called a "terror supporter." The addition of Jabareen to the panel caused controversy, as did the reaction Brand received after announcing his decision. Instead of respecting the stance of a combatant who paid a heavy personal price in the war, the anchor and other panelists made dismissive remarks. The incident occurred on Channel 13.
