""You are trumpeters, not journalists at all": What caused the heated confrontation between Ben and Magal?

December 8, 2022   

Ben Caspit and Yinon Magal clashed again this morning (Thursday) on their show on 103FM, and discussed again the transfer of budgets to the PA during the term of the outgoing coalition. "You sit morning after morning and say that this is the biggest fake. Yesterday Mansour Abbas came up. He says that the PA received 53 billion shekels," Magal claimed. Caspit replied to him: "You can stop lying, I don't see the government falling within a year, you can take a break. You lied, you cheated and you continue. No one gave 53 billion shekels to the Muslim Brotherhood, even 50 is a lie. This is hypocritical government money that is divided over five and six years. Let the public do the math on who is lying, who is spreading fakes and who is not." He also attacked Magal for his remarks regarding Defense Minister Benny Gantz, in light of the attempt to present him as a person who endangered the lives of soldiers: "Anyone who takes a person, a Chief of Staff, who was in uniform for 40 years and turns him into a person who abandons soldiers is a despicable person. You can sue me." Magal replied: "I'm happy to see that even though Gantz himself says that he endangered Golani soldiers, it doesn't help and you continue with this lie." He continued and attacked: "You are trumpeters, you are not journalists at all.".
