Ben Caspit and Yinon Magal sparred on their show on 103FM radio this morning (Sunday) over the question: "How long did it take for former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to leave the Prime Minister's official residence in Balfour?".

Ben believed that it took Olmert a single number of days, but Magal was adamant that it took Olmert about three weeks.
But then former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert unexpectedly called to protest Yinon Magal's claim that he left the Prime Minister's house in Balfour only 23 days later.
Olmert claimed that this was a lie, and that he left Balfour less than a week after the government was sworn in.
The conversation quickly turned into a confrontation between the two - who hurled derogatory nicknames at each other.
Olmert: "My health is fine and Yinon's health is not fine. The time has come for the Netanyahu family spokesman to appear in the family uniform and stop spreading dirt and lies and deceit. When I finished my term as prime minister, in less than a week I vacated the Prime Minister's House in Balfour. I wasn't interested in being there for one unnecessary day, it wasn't important to me and I moved to the new house.".
Olmert added: "All the other publications are slander and fraud, and when Yinon Magal does it, it is even more serious because about once a week he spreads lies out of some uncontrollable desire to protect the liar and the swindler who can no longer be said, I hope in the near future, who is the swindler from Balfour.".
Magal did not remain unconvinced and mentioned Olmert's criminal past in a thick hint: "In the meantime, whoever was convicted of fraud in court is not Netanyahu.".
Olmert: "Forgive me, sir, I'm not arguing with you now.".
Magal: "You served time in prison for bribery offenses.".
Olmert: "Listen, you're giving him a hand in spreading lies, you're spreading lies, you're not a journalist, you're not even close to being a journalist, and I don't want to tell you what you're accused of and what you're being fired for, so sit quietly.".
Magal: "I was not convicted unlike you, sir. I was not convicted in court and I did not serve time in prison. You are a convicted felon, so maybe have some modesty. Maybe for once you will have some modesty. You have served time in prison, do some soul-searching for the offenses you have committed, you are a corrupt man who has served time in prison for criminality, so when you speak of others as corrupt, have a little modesty. No hints and no issues. You are a felon and you have served time in prison in uniform.".
Olmert: "You are a criminal. Don't preach morality to me""
Magal: "I can sue you for that. You're just a liar. You're just a blabbermouth. You're just an idiot. That's what you can say about you.".
Caspit tried to calm the two down and suggested they apologize to each other.
Olmert: "I would be very happy to meet with you in court.".
Magal: "I don't want to meet with you at all. You are an obsessive person whose jealousy of Netanyahu has driven you crazy. Even though you were convicted in court, you didn't do any soul-searching. You didn't examine what you did wrong. You didn't examine yourself, and all day you're dirtying and filthing instead of sitting at home and doing soul-searching and being a little quiet.".
Olmert: "The only one who is so filthy and doing it in the service of an unhappy family, of a prime minister who was removed from office, is you. You are not a journalist, you are not close to being a journalist. You are a rude, superficial, hollow and impudent person, and I did not mean not to talk to you and did not exchange a single word with you because you do not deserve it.".
When Magal asked Olmert why he called, Olmert hung up.
