Veteran radio host Natan Zahavi has sharply criticized Channel 14 presenter Yinon Magal in a social media post. Zahavi, known for expressing his views on public issues, used a gematria wordplay to attack Magal, writing on Facebook, "From the wonders of gematria: Yinon Magal = 189 = Hamas terrorist."
This is not the first time Zahavi has made controversial statements. Recently, he attacked Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir over a controversial initiative to build a crocodile-infested water canal around security prisons, including Ketziot Prison. In a sharp column for the newspaper "Maariv," Zahavi questioned whether the plan would be implemented or if it was "more nonsense from the 'pita minister.'" He recalled filming a commercial for Hamat Gader as "Crocodile Dundee," shouting at a crocodile, "Catch him, Kushkush."
Zahavi speculated that if Minister Ben-Gvir were to implement his "crazy idea," a "Crocodile Unit" would be established within the Ministry of National Security. He further suggested, "And who knows, in our crazy country, they might execute terrorists by throwing them into the habitat of Ben-Gvir's crocodiles."
