Yinon Magal and Ben Caspit clashed today (Tuesday) during the broadcast of their show on 103FM radio about the video "I'm a Bibi" that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released - and has been driving the left crazy ever since.

The broadcast ended with an explosion and an exchange of harsh accusations, following the playing of a chilling recording from a call received at the police hotline on October 7.

Magal began by addressing the attacks on social media against the prime minister, following a tweet he posted on the occasion of Shavuot: "You don't want him to wish you a happy holiday, you don't want him to breathe, you don't want him to be prime minister. When he said happy holiday, did you respond like human beings? No, you cursed him, you slandered him.".

The discussion quickly moved to the question of responsibility for the October 7 disaster.

Magal presented a recording of Brigadier General (res.) Dedi Simhi - who said: "The disaster of October 7th is the responsibility of the IDF, the full responsibility of the IDF, mainly the IDF and the Shin Bet.".

Following this, Magal attacked Caspit: "What do you mean? The only one who is to blame is Bibi. There is no army, no generals, no defense minister, only Bibi is to blame. Why is your entire campaign a lie?""

He also pointed the accusing finger at Gadi Eisenkot.

Caspit replied: "The man wasn't Chief of Staff for eight years, he was Chief of Staff ten years before that, but he's part of the concept and Bibi isn't? Whoever shapes ideas and gives instructions is not the Chief of Staff, it's just the Israeli government headed by the Prime Minister.".

The two discussed attempts to disqualify the Ra'am party, when Caspit reminded Magal of tweets and statements by right-wing figures from the past, who praised Mansour Abbas. "We sat here for hours and I told you that this is the Islamic Movement when you supported it," he scolded Magal.

The confrontation reached its peak when Caspit played a harsh recording from a police hotline call on October 7, in which 9-year-old Michael Idan was heard asking for help.

The recording led to a sharp and unusual reaction from Magal, who demanded that the broadcast be stopped: "I ask you to shut down. You are engaging in emotional manipulation.".

Caspit claimed: "This is not manipulation. On October 7th, there was only one prime minister, and that was Benjamin Netanyahu. He was warned dozens of times. People put down the keys and went home, and all he's trying to do is slander, tear apart what's left of us.".

Magal replied: "Then there will be elections, we'll see what the people want. Whether the leader who played it from October 7th and won the wars despite everything you said will be the prime minister or not. He's not a bureaucrat, he's an elected official. Thank you.".

Caspit concluded: "Listen, you are the biggest piece of filth I have ever sat across from.".
