Morning Joe's On-Air Clash Over Netanyahu Sparks Intense Reactions

Joe Scarborough erupted at panelist Donny Deutsch during a heated on-air clash over a report that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was warned Hamas was planning a major attack shortly before the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre — at one point demanding, “Do I look stupid to you?”

The “Morning Joe” host grew visibly frustrated during the MS NOW broadcast on Wednesday as Deutsch repeatedly stressed Hamas’ responsibility for the slaughter while Scarborough pressed him over the explosive Haaretz report and Netanyahu’s handling of the alleged warning.

“Look at me in my eyes,” Scarborough told Deutsch. “Do you think that I’m going to be distracted by you saying what I’ve said a million times?”
