A reporter from Channel 14 approached a woman on the street, presenting her in a report as Yifat Tomer Yerushalmi, the former military prosecutor. The reporter asked if she was on her way to a plea bargain, but the woman declined to answer. Soon after the segment aired, online viewers raised doubts about the woman's identity. Journalist Avishai Greenzeit clarified that the woman filmed was not Tomer Yerushalmi but someone who merely resembled her and was seen walking with a dog. Greenzeit criticized the channel's approach, stating, "I don't know who this lady is, but she is not the former military prosecutor," and condemned the decision to randomly question a passerby about the plea bargain issue.
