From the moment Prime Minister Netanyahu was rushed to Sheba Hospital until the announcement was made that the reason for this was dehydration, the editions of "Central Headquarters" and "Meet the Press" made necessary changes to the programming schedule, from the need to analyze the situation to the need to operate on the patient.
Until the official announcement came out that this was dehydration, the studio residents speculated and conspired and were swept up in clinical scenarios, comparing them to the Ariel Sharon case, and therefore raising the need to appoint an interim prime minister.
Netanyahu sends message from hospital: 'Feels good'
Since "Meet the Press" was filmed on Friday, Ben Caspit (a Shabbat observant faculty fellow) was rushed to conduct the special live broadcast. Along with wishing him a full recovery, he heard from the interviewees that it reminds them of Sharon's arrival at the hospital, and said: "We are not in this story at all, but in Sheba centers there is a possibility of brain catheterization, but we are not in this story at all." Dafna Liel has already explained how the exit to incapacitation will take place, with a discussion about whether this is the time to pass the baton to Yariv Levin or to someone else Netanyahu trusts.
Panelist Prof. Levin, a former No. 2 in Ya'alon's party, constantly flirted between his position as a doctor and protester: "I hope Netanyahu gets treatment like everyone else, and not any special treatment." What exactly is Hora for Levin? The possibility that Netanyahu will receive VIP treatment, as befits the prime minister of Israel? And why, upon hearing this puzzling statement, did not raise a single eyebrow in the studio?

Channel 13 went from assuming that Netanyahu is on his way to implanting a pacemaker to reassuring him that it is dehydration, in less time than it takes to bring Netanyahu something sweet from the coffee cart and pastry in the lobby. During this time, there was a joke with the doctors. Not Netanyahu's, but moderator Sefi Ovadia's: "Rafi Carasso, if I came to you and reported what happened, you would let me go back to work a little less stressed than being prime minister." Carasso reassured the potential patient, saying it was a very simple procedure. From there, Ovadia moved in a different direction: "Are you calm, or do you ask yourself if something is being hidden from us?" Finally, there was another giggle after wishing Ehud Barak a recovery, along with a message that the protest would continue: "This is Ehud Barak's way of wishing." One can bet what kind of response we would get from him if we saw a reverse tweet from Netanyahu's office.
