Ruvik Drucker, host of 'Badar Behirah' on Channel 13, fiercely criticized Channel 14 presenters Shai Goldstein and Noam Fathi after they appeared to mock the plight of Gazans affected by recent floods. Drucker expressed shock and disgust at the segment, stating, "Millions of people are freezing, wet, some are sick, their lives are ruined. They have no connection to Hamas. And these two rotten people sit and make jokes about them. How much cruelty, how much evil."
Drucker extended his criticism to the Second Authority for Television and Radio, the Israeli media regulator, questioning its inaction. He also directed sharp criticism at the Israeli government, arguing that instead of focusing on public relations blaming Hamas for the situation, Israel should have immediately provided humanitarian aid. Drucker suggested that the government, if it had "a little sense," would have sent heating equipment, medical supplies, and caravans to Gaza to shelter those affected by the floods.
He emphasized that such aid would not contribute to rebuilding Gaza or constructing rockets, but would simply be a humanitarian gesture. Drucker concluded that alongside the moral obligation to help civilians, such a move could also improve Israel's international image and potentially garner some positive media coverage in the West.
