Media personality, presenter, and editor Amira Buzaglo engaged in a heated exchange with newly elected Member of Knesset Yaya Fink of the Democrats party during a live broadcast on Channel 16. The interview, which began with tension, escalated when Fink suggested Buzaglo switch to Channel 14, implying the current channel's interviewing style was unusual. Buzaglo sharply retorted, accusing Fink of arrogance and suggesting "Channel 14" had become a derogatory term for him. The argument intensified over issues such as potential political partnerships with Arab parties and Knesset members leaving during the national anthem. When Fink attempted to correct Buzaglo's phrasing regarding Arab parties, she firmly told him not to lecture her on how to speak and suggested he teach Hebrew for high school matriculation exams instead. After Fink accused her of generalization and vowed to form a Zionist government, Buzaglo concluded by advising him to answer questions directly in future interviews rather than reciting talking points.
This incident follows a previous controversy in October when Buzaglo strongly criticized celebrity Maayan Adam for choosing the unusual name "Eitay" for her newborn son. During a discussion on Channel 16, Buzaglo criticized the trend of celebrities selecting unconventional names for their children to gain social media exposure, stating that children are not "coupon codes" for publicity. She questioned how such a name would be perceived in a child's daily environment. When Orly Mirkin intervened, suggesting Adam's birth would have garnered media attention regardless, Buzaglo dismissed the argument, accusing Mirkin of feigning ignorance and defending her celebrity friends. Buzaglo argued that likes and online exposure create a competitive environment influencing celebrities' judgment. The recent clash with Fink has once again highlighted Buzaglo's willingness to engage in confrontations, even during live broadcasts.
