The weekly satirical news segment hosted by Yossi Abdu offers a humorous overview of recent political developments in Israel. The High Court halted the "crocodile" plan proposed by MKs Itamar Ben Gvir and Simcha Silman, but one "crocodile" has already escaped, indicating ongoing political maneuvering. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was seen questioning in the Knesset, while Yossi invited him to appear on his podcast.

Opposition leader Yair Lapid criticized the government budget, claiming, "Our budget is good and yours is bad." Meanwhile, former ministers Gilad Erdan and Yuli Edelstein announced plans to establish a new political party, prompting questions about its ideological stance. MK Yair Golan was noted for a helicopter flight, which the segment clarified was not a sign of religious devotion. Avigdor Lieberman expressed confusion over recent events, stating, "It is beyond my understanding."

Ahead of the primaries, Hadar Mukhtar sought blessings from rabbis, and a special celebratory interview with MK Keti Shitrit is scheduled for later in the week. The segment invites viewers to share unrelated stories via WhatsApp and promises more political satire and interviews in upcoming episodes.
