Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak blew up an interview on the "Central Headquarters" program on Channel 10 this evening (Saturday night), after claiming that the agreements with him were violated.

Barak claimed that an interview was agreed upon with the program's host Ayla Hasson only, and protested when the panel members in the studio presented him with questions.

The confrontation began when panel member Revital Amiran began to ask Barak a question, but he interrupted her, saying, "I'm not answering the question," banged on the table, and added, "The interview is over.".

When Hasson and the panel members continued discussing in the studio, Barak knocked on the table again and said angrily: "I object to conducting an interview about me in your presence after we agreed in advance, sorry.".

""I don't want to take us back to Yonit Levy and Monica Lewinsky," Barak added, referring to the explosion of an interview between the Hadashot TV presenter and the former White House intern at the Influential People's Conference, after she was asked a question contrary to a prior agreement with her.

Hasson asked: "What are we related to?""

Barak replied to Hasson: "We agreed in advance that I would be interviewed with you. I am not participating in a joint interview on the panel, thank you. I would like to leave you, goodbye.".

The presenter reminded: "It is customary for commentators to make a comment at the end.".

Barak: "It is customary, not contrary to the agreements we reached less than an hour ago.".
