A heated debate has emerged after media figure Yinon Magal labeled Gadi Eizenkot, leader of the 'Yeshar' party, as a 'Moroccan monkey.' In response, Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the remarks during a radio interview as inappropriate, while simultaneously calling on Eizenkot to denounce previous insults that compared Likud supporters to chimpanzees. Eizenkot dismissed the remarks as hitting a new low, pointing the finger at Netanyahu for supporting the broadcaster. With parliamentary elections scheduled for October 27, the incident has fueled accusations of racism and discrimination against individuals of Moroccan descent, highlighting deep-seated divisions within the political landscape.
