While the temperatures dropped dramatically on Friday night, in the "Friday Studio" journalist Yaron Avraham and host Danny Kushmaro helped the people of Israel warm up in the living room, by pouring fuel on the fire that Knesset member Tali Gottlieb lit this week.
Yaron Avraham will be fueled by a jerry can full of leaks from the words of the Shin Bet chief to the ministers, after the organization announced that they are not ready to accept the claim of a member of parliament, according to which the US intercepted conversations between Shakma Bresler's partner and Yahya Sinwar a few days before the October 7 massacre.
And rightly so.
For those who have not yet dived into the fire, which was ignited at all on Twitter and which reached the cabinet meeting: in the role of the campfire - a news item on the website called "Edna Carnival".
In the role of the incendiary material - MK Gottlieb's Twitter sharing. In the role of the toothpick thrown into the fire - the call of the head of the Shin Bet to establish a state investigative committee now.
"The background is the delusional and far-fetched conspiracy theories voiced by someone who calls herself a member of the Knesset in Israel, Tali Gottlieb of the Likud," Avraham was outraged, and rightly so this time.
Anyone who calls herself a "member of the Knesset" who shares a website that can also be called "Itzik Kashkabal", which allows the identity of a Shin Bet member to be revealed and hints at treason after Black Sabbath, needs to bring more than the claim of "my sources are iron".

Avraham said that the head of the Shin Bet turned to the cabinet ministers: "I ask that you announce a state commission of inquiry.
The public craves it, and the Shin Bet craves it, to stop the lies and conspiracies."
Let's just say that even if MK Tali Gottlieb has a noisy base of talkbackists, it is hard to believe that the "public" is eager for a state commission of inquiry now around a rumor from a website whose name rhymes with "crazy Motka" - but the head of the Shin Bet is also allowed to fight back excessively and ignite more more the inflamed ones.
Kushmaro did not miss an opportunity: "And no, the prime minister does not condemn the things and denies them. And neither does the president of the country - you are the supreme leader, so to speak, and the most senior here" (really, Danny?).
In contrast to the important exposure, this reading is unnecessary: a bonfire lit by a member of the Knesset, and which received an appropriate response from the head of the Shin Bet, should not have received a public response and fueled spectators from the heads of the state - but rather extinguished the scouts and moved on to the next bonfire.
