Shiguim: Yesterday, on the program "Zman Avir" with Menachem Toker, broadcaster Menachem Toker and the program's producer Haim Hoffman called the "Notre Dame" hotel in Jerusalem, where the Pope stayed for only a few hours today. The hotel, which boasts four and a half stars, is owned by the church and all 150 rooms of the hotel have been designated for the large delegation accompanying the Pope - and the entrance to the guests is closed.
During the broadcast, Tucker asked the receptionists to tell the Pope "not to come again, because of the huge traffic jams in Jerusalem due to the visit." The receptionists refused - and hung up the phone.
After a few hours, the police called the program's editors and accused them of "unjustified harassment and intimidation.".

After consulting with the station's legal advisors, the police were told in response that the conversation was conducted under supervision and freedom of the press, and "therefore we do not see anything illegal in these things.".
Menachem Toker in response to Haredim10: "I can promise listeners that if Francis the 17th comes to Israel and causes traffic jams and congestion on the roads, I will also call him and ask him nicely to prevent suffering from the residents of Jerusalem and that he not come to Israel again.".
