The story · English

Doron Brosh expressed a wish that Itamar Fleishman would direct his harsh criticism at him rather than at Yair Lapid. Brosh acknowledged the financial pressures faced by Lapid and his wife, Lehia, noting that when Channel 14 pays their fees, they might use the money to renovate their kitchen or donate it to charity. However, Fleishman retracted his earlier comments, spoiling the positive moment. Brosh criticized the frequent negative remarks made on the show "The Patriots," suggesting that the channel's management does not intervene despite the ongoing criticism. He pointed out that the rising viewership ratings indicate that the content resonates with a segment of the audience. Brosh predicted that as elections approach and polls continue to show similar trends, the intensity of such critical remarks might escalate significantly.
