A faculty member hit the torch with all his might.

The foreign minister has not fallen even once

While Netanyahu is being interviewed, if at all, only for the whims of his prime minister on Channel 14, Yair Lapid came to a meeting with the most authentic, and certainly the most popular, representative of the Israeli right in the local media.

Amit Segal did not spare the Foreign Minister any difficult questions, but Lapid proved that he learned a lesson or two from Netanyahu.

This time, it worked

For a moment in News 12, they were confused and presented in a preliminary discussion in the studio Amit Segal on a split screen with himself (Photo: screenshot, News 12)

Ordinary, normal people do not like to be interviewed.

In the top ten things that ordinary people do not like to do one can find the word "to be interviewed", next to "to speak in front of an audience" or "to be stung by a bee".

This is the reality.

Human nature.

A common mistake is to think that celebrities like to be interviewed.

they are not.

In fact, celebrities have more to lose if they utter some uncomfortable truth or take some of their sentence out of context.

The reason we still see celebrities being interviewed all the time is because they must.

They are promoting something.

They're trying to sell something.

They closed a deal.

It's all business.

Marketing.

Just like people who tell you that there is such a thing as "effortless weight loss" or "Israeli football".

There is someone who benefits from the whole business.

In short, everything is a sham.

If you see someone being interviewed, they usually have no other choice.



There are of course unusual people.

We will call them, for the purpose of this article, by the general name: "Politicians."

They are not necessarily MKs or ministers, some may also be singers, painters or professors of communication - but they are politicians.

You know who it's about.

These people love to be interviewed because they love to talk.

The truth is that they mostly like to hear themselves.

Sometimes they have something smart and interesting to say, but sometimes they will ask to stand in front of a TV camera and talk even if they have nothing of value in their mouths.

Israel is probably one of the largest producers of politicians in the world per capita.



Yair Lapid and Amit Segal are politicians.

Amit Segal and Yair Lapid are journalists.

The two statements are correct and do not contradict each other, except that only one of them currently serves as Israel's alternate prime minister.

Despite the ideological gap, they are not so different from each other.

Both were eloquent circumcisers, both were inspired by a dominant father and both were the main attraction of "Studio Six".

They are so similar that for a moment in News 12 they got confused and presented in a preliminary discussion in the studio Amit Segal on a split screen with himself.

There must be a parallel universe in which journalist Yair Lapid interviewed Foreign Minister Amit Segal last night.

Unfortunately, we will have to continue living in this universe and concentrate on an interview Segal conducted with Lapid in the main edition of News 12.

Move the entire message page.

The promising summit meeting between Segal and Lapid was tough, but fair.

Maybe too fair.

It's not that Amit Segal did not ask Lapid difficult questions.

vice versa.

In fact, it is hard to recall an interview with so many difficult questions that have been posed to one of the senior members of the “government of change” since its inception.

The problem was not with staff questions, but with the lack of tension evident in the air.

Something in the familiar feeling between the two turns the whole encounter into a friendly discourse, even if the ideologies are opposite.

It seems that after the interview they were able to turn off the camera, drink some can of lunch and get tough in the wind with an off-record conversation about Avishai Ben Haim's new book.

Who knows, maybe that's exactly what happened.



Like any politician, Yair Lapid came with a page of messages.

Amit Segal on the other hand came up with a list of statements that Lapid has said in the past.

The alternate prime minister was unmoved, and simply dismissed everything he had said in the past.

For what to refer to the sayings said in ancient history, he whipped intellectually in his interlocutor, when you sit in front of me and can hear what I have to say now.

One might mistakenly think that this is a philosophical conversation, and the statements that Segal quoted were made thousands of years ago.

In practice, Segal tried to figure out if Lapid was repeating what he said about a year ago.

There are people here who carry the nickname "we can" on their backs for much less.



Lapid tried to divert the discourse (in a certain lack of style) to his message page, headed by the warning against the "Ben Gvir-Bibi government."

It seems that in the end everyone was Netanyahu's students, even his biggest opponents.

The intimidation of "the end of democracy" is not accidental, nor is the choice of "Ben Gvir-Bibi".

Just like the "sophistication" of the Likud who tried to diminish Gideon Saar and turned him into "Gideon".

Just like the warnings that "this is either Bibi or Tibi."

Now it's either Yair or Ben Gvir.

The same old and good mule and ruler.

The change government does not offer much change once the polls of Mano Geva and Camille Fox are smelled close.

It is clear that in the next election the promise "just not Bibi" will not suffice.

In contrast, the threat of "just not Ben Gvir-Bibi" can already provoke people to the polls.

Did everything right in this interview from his side.

In the end, that's what happened here last night.

Interview in the run-up to the election.

Even if there is no date on the table, and even if Lapid declares that there will still be a rotation and he will move to Balfour (an excellent question by Segal, who indirectly caused Lapid to sting Prime Minister Bennett). Optics is no less important than rhetoric. Yair Lapid arrives for a head-to-head meeting with the most authentic, and certainly the most popular, representative of the Israeli right in the local media.



Fellow faculty did everything right in this interview from his side.

His insistence on bereaved families might have sounded petty, but it reflected strong feelings in the public towards the government in general and Lapid in particular.

And yet, Lapid came out of the interview standing upright.

The staff hit and hit the torch, but unlike the famous fight against Tyson Cohen - he refused to fall.

He conveyed his messages and turned to the swaying voices in the center.

Bonus points were credited to him for doing so on a critical day for Israel's foreign policy, with the death of a journalist in Jenin.



This is part of the process of building Lapid's brand new.

The equivalent torch.

The state torch.

The non-Bibi torch.

I mean, a little bibi but only a little good.

Lapid began his political career with a surprising sprint, but over time he learned to replace the passion with stubborn calm.

This impressive marathon run can still end in Balfour, but Lapid knows it's not the time to downshift but to continue at exactly the same pace.

SY Agnon claimed in "A Simple Story" that those who rest are striving for safety. Lapid offers a different school, more dangerous, less safe. Yesterday he passed a difficult obstacle successfully. The sequel, one can predict with confidence, will not be such a simple story.
