Yossi Cohen says he was relieved when he heard about the first wave of UAVs that took off from a surface-to-air missile base in Iran. He asks: What is the connection with the continuous news studios that accompanied the residents of Israel throughout this tense night? Cohen: The main problem in the studios was that nothing happened, or rather - almost nothing.
In the "Meet the Press" studio (in the part after Shabbat), the commentator Amit Segal almost expressed hope for a direct confrontation between Israel and Iran. Cohen: On the other hand, one of the most qualified commentators is close to the Prime Minister's office and expresses an almost open hope for an open confrontation between Iran and Israel. The problem is that there was no one at News 12 on Saturday evening to take into account the consequences of the assassination in Damascus on national security, which were not discussed in advance on purpose. Both Netanyahu and his entourage failed to paint a picture according to which either Netanyahu did not take into consideration the consequences.
