"In memory of democracy and the transition to dictatorship, I want to stand for a minute of silence. Let's hope for better days."

A month ago Ofira and Berkovich attacked the Minister of Communications on the background of his statements against the Public Broadcasting Corporation and his words against Ofira and Berko.

In the program's opening video, Berkovich compared Israel to pre-revolutionary Iran.

"I wanted to show which rabbi Karai is going to consult with every week about LGBT people and human rights - and what this rabbi thinks about us.

But because he is such a dark person, I don't want to relate to him at all - I just want to show you what he actually wants to be here." Barko presented photos documenting Iran from 50 years ago: "This is what Iran looked like, and what do they want to do here?

They want to close the corporation, kick out Ofira and Barko and that instead of going to the sea, they will go with Galviat.

They want to make Iran here.

So that they don't tell me stories, that they deal with what needs to be dealt with - and not with a coup d'état."
