Journalist Yanon Magal is once again at the heart of a network storm. At its center is an argument between him and Vered Lee, a Haaretz newspaper journalist and human rights activist, who declined to be interviewed and tweeted about it on Twitter.

"Yinon Magal's system asked me to interview him this morning," Lee wrote this morning (Tuesday) in a tweet from her Twitter account, apparently referring to the joint program of Megal and journalist Ben Caspit on FM103 radio station. "I answered simply 'No interest, thank you.' For me, there is no dialogue with transphobes, no dialogue with people who resort to disgraceful network bullying against a 9-year-old girl and on the way sexual exploitation devices underage."

• Yinon Magal: "Shut off the TV"

Lee referred to Magell's remarks about the Maccabi Tel Aviv football and minor girls affair, in which he saw the affair as affecting the peace of the footballers' home. In her remarks, the reporter also referred to Magell's tweet, referring to the story of Rina, a 9-year-old transgender whose story recently became public, as part of Pride Events in Jerusalem. Magell wrote about it: "Not 15 and a half, 9 years old! How much are you painted!" He also tweeted: "What's more strange and problematic? A 15-and-a-half-year-old who decides to sleep with a 9-year-old footballer or transgender who speaks on the Pride Parade?"

Lee responded to a statement by Lee, a journalist on the right side of the Israeli political map, in his own tweet. It reads: "Great soul. I wanted to talk to someone who wrote an article that is really sub-standard, but now you also lifted me for a discount so we will see you in court. All in all this is money on the table."

"The lawsuit is about the content of the tweet that it made," Magell told Israel Today, "and about its use of nicknames such as" Transophobia "and" Bully. "

Lee's response has not yet been accepted.
