"I WILL PROTECT A UNITED NETANYAHU"

Isaac Herzog pretty much got the debate he wanted with Benjamin Netanyahu, and during the Channel 2 interviews, he made quite a gaffe:
Herzog was so excited to be debating Netanyahu, without co-Captain Tzipi Livni that he apparently didn't realize when he mixed up Jerusalem with Netanyahu (time: 2:05) in his statement on who he would be protecting. That gave Netanyahu a chuckle.

While Netanyahu was clearly not expecting to be ambushed this way, he definitely came out on top, even when Channel 2 (time 3:20) lowered the volume on Netanyahu and raised the volume for Herzog's interruption.

Surprisingly, the host rather rudely then cut off Herzog in mid-counterattack (time: 3:30) telling him his time in the studio was up, at which point, a clearly annoyed Herzog walked off the set. Netanyahu then continued the interview and also responded to Herzog's question.
Video available at the paper's page. It'll make a good laugh for you too. Some politician Herzog is. He should really be a comedian.
