Another conflict has burst into our lives: Yotam Zimri, star of the show "The Patriots" on Channel 14, exploded today (Tuesday) on the X Network about News 12 presenter Yair Sharky - following things Sharky said on the air about locating Ran Guili, the late.

""Forgive me for being skeptical, the fact that Rani is being brought in at the last minute, after they promised to open the Rafah crossing - it's an interesting coincidence," said Sharki.

Zimri responded to his words angrily: "Sharky, at least be a man and say 'Bibi knew where Rani was buried and left him there to wait for the right moment that suits him politically,' but as usual you are a coward who implies it like that with this sweet shyness, and adds 'Sorry I'm skeptical.' And tomorrow, Sharky will be back to talking with his eyes closed about a poison machine and conspirators and toxic discourse. Taffy.".

Sharkey was quick to deny that he had alluded to Netanyahu: "Yotam, what's burning in your head that you're running straight to Bibi? Your interpretation of my words is a complete fabrication. I wasn't alluding to Netanyahu, but to other directions that were also hinted at by political and security sources. Maybe Hamas always knew and held onto it - until the moment it was worth it? Maybe the Americans didn't press - until the moment it was really critical for them? Or maybe the political pressure hasn't allowed the IDF to work beyond the yellow line until now?

""I really don't think it was possible to bring in Ran Goili at any time and someone in Israel intentionally didn't approve.".

Zimri, not convinced - and quipped: "Yes, my dear, you meant the Americans, completely.".

Sharky responded: "That's what's amazing about you. Spreading a lie from the beginning. A conspiracy that accuses me of a conspiracy. And when I show you that you were wrong, instead of apologizing and deleting, like a decent person would do, you run to the easy solution: paste an emoji and feel the sound. You've gotten a lot of likes and hate on me. But at least the truth is here for those who are interested in it.".

Zimri concluded the confrontation: "You didn't show me I was wrong. You showed me that you are better at getting into conspiracies than getting out of them. Sorry, Raki, I just don't believe you.".
