Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mistakenly called interviewer Shimon Riklin by the name "Erel" during a live broadcast on Channel 14, just hours before polls were set to open for an election. The prime minister was conducting a final media blitz to encourage votes.
At the end of the interview, Riklin thanked Netanyahu for the interview and praised his handling of events since October 8. As Netanyahu responded, he mistakenly addressed Riklin as "Erel" and urged viewers to vote.
Riklin, taken aback, corrected the prime minister, stating, "My name is Shimon Riklin, but okay. Goodbye, thank you very much." Netanyahu, attempting to recover from the gaffe, asked, "What did I say?" Riklin then good-naturedly pointed out the error, prompting Netanyahu to laugh and acknowledge his mistake, saying, "Ah, I said Erel? Erel Riklin, well, obviously."
