Two days after the scandalous interview on the program of Ofira Asaig and Eyal Berkowitz that upset the network, the coalition chairman declared this morning a boycott on his part: "I will no longer appear with Ofira and Berkowitz," Zohar wrote this morning (Sunday) on Facebook and Twitter.
"I have appeared on their show many times since the days when there was a sane, professional and objective voice there. Unfortunately today it has become something else, one that has crossed all logical boundaries.
"Eyal Berkowitz's scandalous statement that we are a 'criminal organization' was intolerable and we must not go over it on the agenda," he wrote, adding: "What do I think about her shameful speech? I choose to take action in this matter as well, so I will not appear in this program anymore," he concluded the tweet.
Zohar's anger comes after he arrived at the program studio of Ofira Asaig and Eyal Berkowitz at the weekend, after a stormy week in which he found his name in the headlines when he called MK Adir Kamal's speech against the proposal to amend the Corona Law, which gives the government special powers. Disgusting ".
The interview, which was initially charged, quickly became loud as Berkowitz slammed harsh words: "You are not MKs. You are a shame and a disgrace. Look what you did to the country. Economy, zero. Health, zero. "Gantz, you said the Corona government. This is not the Corona government. This is work for the eyes, you need to be dismantled," Berkowitz slammed Zohar in the face, then fired the statement that ignited the fire: "In one thing she was right.
You are a criminal organization. "
I will no longer appear with Ofira and Berkowitz.

Although Zohar remained in the studio until the end of the interview, but as expected after the storm he provoked on the networks, this morning he went on another attack, as mentioned, with the announcement of a boycott on his part of the program.
Reactions to Zohar's announcement were divided: "Do us all a favor and do not appear again. Nowhere. Not in the Knesset either. Thank you in advance," a surfer tweeted mockingly, and others added: "What a shame, what a loss. How will we deal with the loss? We have Mickey's glamor. "
"Believe me, you will not miss anyone. If you disappear from the Knesset tomorrow, we will just breathe a sigh of relief. You do not play any vital role in our lives. You are just a burden on our necks. A choke tie. A pretentious money squeezer," wrote another surfer.
"You are not doing anything against it. Calls for rebellion, contagion parties and nothing. Nada. Crickets. You indicate that you trust the court to limit them - and fight against it. If it's big on you Mickey, go to the polls. Or you resign. "
Another surfer tweeted: "Listen, this is a repulsive tweet and I'm ashamed for your kids to have to see how their dad expresses himself."
On the other hand, there were also voices that came out against the program and its facilitators.
One of the surfers wrote: "The problem is not that you will not go there anymore. The problem is that you went there for the first time. Understand something. I despise Eyal Golan and his music, but when this idiot was his girlfriend and sold him lentil stew it already says who sold you like that "It's not a man to mess with. She's a rag doll dancing what Yafit does before the media."
Another surfer added: "I think every right-winger who goes to this shallow program not only despises himself, but also a huge public of Likud supporters. The question is what do you do about the insult that Berkowitz inflicted on you that you are a crime family and criminals, because it is time to shut them up?" .
