He also talked about various offers he received to join politics, and hinted at who was behind the leak of it.
Do you open the team on Sunday?
“Yes. All the tickets were sold out in a few hours. We made an effort last night, and there will be another show. I am not responsible for what will happen to this country and I do not know how many more shows we will make.

Do you know how to sit? How will the audience enter?
“We work by all the rules and do not move an inch from them.”
I mean, not sitting on top of each other?
“No, no, no. The entrance will only be for vaccinators and recovering people.”

Are you also vaccinated?
“I was vaccinated twice. By the way, I want to say that there is a lot of criticism of the conditions under which they opened, and those who do not know me then I also have a lot of criticism about how this country is run, and I will say my criticism on stage. Because there is no other way. ”
What is the name of the show?
“Bibi didn’t want me on TV. Come quickly before he throws me out of here too.”
It is more or less the longest name in Israel for an entertainment show.
“The truth is we took inspiration from a Conan O’Brien performance after the saga he had.”
Well, there’s another matter we want to find out with you.
“let me guess”.
What do you say about the words of Orly Levy Abacus a few weeks ago?
“Merav Michaeli has never been armored in any party. She ran in the primaries and everything is visible and known.”
And you?
“I have never asked for armor from anyone. Since 2015 I have been approached and I never respond, they have already approached me with better offers than being on the same list with Orly Levy and Amir Peretz.”
That is, also from the more central side of the map?
“I am not leaking anything. Look, I did not enter politics even though I had suggestions. As for Amir Peretz – I never denied that he approached me.”
Amir Peretz (Photo: Tomer Neuberg, Flash 90)What do you mean?
“Amir Peretz asked to meet with me, and I came to meet him. There were some people from his side, he spoke and suggested.”
Offered armor?
“Yes. He offered an armor. After a few hours I called and said ‘no thanks’, and that was it. I did not ask for anything in between, nor did Max.”
Even now are proposals coming?
“There were proposals in this round as well. By the way, the current chairman of the Labor Party did not offer it to me.”
Who is behind the leak of this offer you received?
“Come on. First of all, Orly Levy is standing on the Knesset podium and screaming this nonsense. Now look, Amir Peretz lost to Merav Michaeli, my good neighbor down here, and now that he is defeated I guess he is not pleased to see her success.”
I mean, Peretz is trying to go on Merav’s head?
“Look here there are no champagnes and cigars. We buy whiskey and arak with our money and there is no corruption here, so you know. By the way, I want to say that I do not speak on behalf of MK Michaeli and I am not a party member either. I have my own opinions, and again, as far as I know corruption “Apparently there is no one here. By the way, Merav was chairman of the House committee for a few years and here too she did not abuse her power.”
