Netanyahu condemns Magal's 'monkey' remark against Eisenkot, calls out opposition

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly condemned a derogatory remark made by media personality Yinon Magal, who referred to former IDF chief and opposition politician Gadi Eisenkot as a "monkey."

In addition to condemning the remark, Netanyahu criticized what he characterized as a double standard in how political rhetoric is handled. He called upon Eisenkot to explicitly condemn offensive remarks that have been directed at Likud voters by government critics.
