  • He previously criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Media personality Emmanuel Rosen launched a scathing attack on Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amihai Chikli, after Chikli reportedly mocked Gadi Eisenkot's diplomatic skills. Rosen, in a social media post, described Chikli as a "foolish idiot" and a "sycophant" who has achieved virtually nothing in his role. Rosen argued that Chikli's criticism of Eisenkot, a former IDF Chief of Staff, was particularly egregious given that Chikli serves a Prime Minister who has severely damaged Israel's foreign relations and international standing.

Rosen further elaborated on the perceived diplomatic failures under the current government, referencing strained relations with two U.S. presidents and past issues with Hungary. He accused Chikli and the government of lacking talent, shame, and respect for the public and their voters. Rosen expressed hope that Chikli would be relegated to the back benches of the Knesset.

This is not the first time Rosen has criticized the government. He recently condemned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the Dubai flight incident, accusing the Prime Minister of celebrating instead of addressing the "crazy failure." Rosen also criticized Netanyahu's staff, calling them "liars" and "incompetent, irresponsible, and shameless people" who underestimate the intelligence of their voters.
