A TalkTV host has been blasted for screaming at a guest during a live interview.

Presenter Julia Hartley-Brewer has been accused of being ‘unprofessional and rude’ after a clip of an interview from Wednesday was shared on social media.

She was speaking to Palestinian MP Dr Mustafa Barghouti after a senior Hamas deputy leader was killed in an Israeli drone strike, however, the conversation turned into chaos as she shouted over him.

As he spoke about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Harley-Brewer interrupted him and put her head in her hands.

‘We haven’t got time to do the entire history of Benjamin Netanyahu who is not a popular figure in Israel!’ she said.

As Dr Barghouti continued, she then shouted: ‘Mustafa, is it possible to…’

Looking around the studio at one point, she laughed and tried to ask another question.

‘Please don’t say that again, we don’t have time for that, you’ve made that point five times already,’ she told him.

She then erupted at Dr Barghouti as he said: ‘I don’t know what you have time for.’

‘For the love of god let me finish a sentence man!’ she screamed.

‘Maybe you’re not used to women talking, I don’t know, but I’d like to finish the sentence!’

‘You are misleading the public,’ Dr Barghouti calmly replied.

Pointing out how little time they had left, Hartley-Brewer at one point said that she wasn’t even ‘going to try and bother answering’ his questions posed to her.

Trying to get her last words in, she shouted over his comments: ‘If you don’t think Israel’s reaction is acceptable, what would have been an acceptable reaction to you? You’ve got ten seconds left.’

He calmly replied: ‘To end occupation and allow peace to prevail for both people.’

Seemingly unsatisfied with the answer, she then sounded sarcastic saying ‘Brilliant’.

Closing off the segment, Hartley-Brewer finished with: ‘Sorry to have been a woman speaking to you but there you are.’

Viewers were stunned at her reaction (Picture: TalkTV)

Viewers have been left astounded by her reaction, calling out her rudeness.

X user Nabeel Rajab wrote: ‘I have never seen a presenter this bad. I admire this man and his patience with her impoliteness.’

‘That was so frustrating to watch,’ Afif Aqrabawi added, while @AbukulaibAlJahl wrote: ‘What a disgraceful excuse for a journalist!’

‘Wow. “Maybe you are not used to women talking.” Just wow,’ Razzil Darkbrew said.

Others called for her to be sacked after the interview, with @Sahar56226797 writing: ‘She’s not a journalist. She needs to be sacked. What a clown.’

‘Omg!!! Zero professionalism, she’s so disrespectful and rude, and shamelessly projecting on the man and accusing him to be sexist,’ @engelein3 added.
