Many users expressed their disappointment, believing that the announced peace came only after a devastating conflict, with a tragic number of victims.

During the third episode of the program, Rasha expressed her opinion live, emphasizing that peace cannot be considered such when it is the result of destruction and loss of life. Her statement was echoed by numerous viewers who rallied to her cause, applauding her frankness. The topic of war was then also addressed by Omer, another contestant, who has personally experienced the horrors of conflict in Syria until 2017. His words, “the peace agreement is just a piece of paper,” further polarized the audience and were unfortunately censored by the director.
