Author Il Megid Clashes with i24 Journalist Sharon Gal Over Netanyahu Criticism

During an interview on i24, Israeli author Il Megid sharply criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of wanting to destroy the country. When journalist Sharon Gal pressed Megid to provide evidence for his claims, the conversation quickly escalated into a heated exchange of insults. Megid alleged that Netanyahu would not accept election defeat and suggested he might prevent elections from taking place. Gal dismissed these statements as slogans and accused Megid of being overly conspiratorial.

The discussion deteriorated further when Megid insulted Gal personally, calling him an "idiot," "sycophant," and "pathetic," and accused the channel of being "polluted and dirty." Gal refrained from responding in kind, instead asserting that viewers would recognize who the real "idiot" was. The interview concluded with Gal sarcastically thanking Megid, calling him "a writer in Israel." This confrontation reflects ongoing tensions surrounding Netanyahu's leadership and the polarized political discourse in Israel.
