Media personality Matti Tochfeld, political commentator for Maariv and host of "Noonday Diary" on Gali Israel radio, hosted MK Yulia Malinovsky of the Yisrael Beiteinu faction on his program today (Wednesday).

Tochfeld was interested: "Why are you opposing Boaz Bismuth's draft plan this time, unlike during the period in the 'government of change', when you agreed to a softer plan?""

Malinowski replied: "You too were once young and beautiful, and today you are 20 kilos heavier... Circumstances change.".

Tochfeld, a Chabad follower, agreed with the MK: "I wish it was only 20 kilos...""

Udi David Ben David, a reporter for 'Radio Darom', responded: "I strongly disagree with MK Yuli Malinovsky's words. My friend and colleague Matti Tochfeld is still young and beautiful! As for 20 kg more, there is a situation, let alone a decision on that. They prepare great food at home, so it makes sense... I recommend everyone to stay with them on Shabbat.".
