Ofira and Barko's show has long been synonymous with scandals and provocations, but this time the provocation is even more tumultuous when the object of the attack is the talent of the 12G arc itself, TV presenter Leon Rosenberg.

"I was invited to Ofira and Barco to participate in a panel on men in 2020. I intended to talk about the challenges an average Israeli man experienced in the Corona crisis, the great uncertainty, the concerns following the economic crisis, and the difficulty of working from home," he said.
"I wanted to tell how a circle of men (like the one I lead with Ohad Levy and like the one I attend from time to time), can be a great place for any man to come and face the challenges, find out he's not alone, and return home strengthened to family. That's what I wanted to say. ... Actually on the show I found myself in front of Berkowitz and Itzik Zohar's Double Team, who slapped me for being a weak and submissive man, while Ofira was torn from laughing in the background in a noisy conversation that I had no chance of ending a sentence. I do not really remember what happened there. 18:45 the broadcast. "
Rosenberg made it clear that despite the unpleasant experience, he is not afraid of the image they tried to create for him in the show.
"What's for sure - I'm no longer afraid to go 'too weak' or 'too sensitive' in front of men of the Zohar and Barco variety. I already know I'm not alone," he concluded the post by inviting men to join a circle of men opening next week The program and the arc 12.
