Mazurek on the backstage of the interview with the Israeli ambassador: “He is standing next to me and shouting at me”

Yakov Livne visited Channel Zero on Wednesday evening in connection with the shooting of a humanitarian convoy in the Gaza Strip. A little later, Robert Mazurek recorded a summary in which he talked about what happened behind the scenes of the interview. The diplomat was to raise his voice against him in the presence of all team members.

On Wednesday, April 4, Robert Mazurek hosted a conversation with the Israeli ambassador to Poland, Jakow Liwne, on Channel Zero. The tense atmosphere between the journalist and the diplomats was palpable from the first minutes of the interview, but what was shocking was what happened behind the scenes.

Behind the scenes of the interview with the Israeli ambassador. Robert Mazurek: “Scream, complaints”

Robert Mazurek talked about what happened behind the scenes of the interview in the evening summary on Channel Zero. “I have conducted over a thousand interviews in my life, I stopped counting a long time ago. People came out of them in different moods, more or less happy. Sometimes they ran out angry… there were those who did not shake my hand, who later stayed with me for a long time. “They didn’t talk to me for a while,” the journalist began.

After a while, he openly admitted that when the cameras were turned off, the attitude of the Israeli ambassador changed dramatically. The diplomat allegedly raised his tone at the presenter in the presence of all members of the TV crew: “I have never had a situation like this when a guy jumps up after a conversation, stands next to me and shouts at me. And he shouts at me and holds a grudge against me. My cameraman colleagues and those who were in the studio with me were amazed. So was I. I understand that the ambassador may not have been particularly happy with the way this conversation turned out, which he made very clear. But there is a subtle difference between not agreeing that “It turned out to be the screaming and the complaints that the ambassador made towards me in his very expressive form,” he said.

The conversation between Ambassador Liwne and Robert Mazurek concerned the attack on workers of the humanitarian organization World Central Kitchen (WCK) in the Gaza Strip. As a result of this event, volunteers died, including a Polish citizen – 35-year-old Damian Soból. After this incident, the Israeli ambassador posted an X post on the website, stating, among other things, that “Anti-Semites will always remain anti-Semites.” On Friday, April 5, Yakov Liwne appeared at a meeting with Deputy Minister Andrzej Szejna, during which he apologized for the bombing of a humanitarian convoy car. He also asked for help in contacting the family of the deceased Pole. Szejna, however, stated that the Israeli ambassador would not be expelled from Poland.
