Public relations expert Rani Rahav has once again publicly criticized media personality Yinon Magal, this time focusing on Magal's potential voting choices in the upcoming elections. Rahav, a frequent critic of the current government, posted on Instagram on Sunday, highlighting comments Magal made in an interview with "Olam Katan." In the interview, Magal stated he might vote for Bezalel Smotrich and Orit Struck, adding that while he usually votes for Likud, he considers Smotrich a serious and trustworthy option.
Rahav responded sharply on Instagram, implying Magal would vote for politicians who did not serve in the military and supported a controversial "evasion law." He further suggested Magal would vote for those who sent soldiers to war without having served themselves, and who have not secured the return of hostages from Gaza. Rahav expressed sadness over this perceived stance.
This is not the first time Rahav has targeted Magal. Previously, Rahav criticized Magal for comments made regarding the Bibas family and a book titled "Mr. Abandonment," which critiques Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the hostage situation. Magal had reportedly asked the families of hostages and Holocaust survivors to apologize to the Prime Minister after the book's publication.
Magal later met with relatives of Shiri Bibas, apologizing for his remarks. He described the meeting as "long, painful, and good," and stated he had apologized to the families who were hurt by his words. He also mentioned that a "campaign of incitement" was being waged against him, distorting his statements.
The book "Mr. Abandonment - The Legacy of the Hostage Abandoner," published in 2024, features essays and texts criticizing Prime Minister Netanyahu's actions concerning the hostages taken on October 7th. It includes contributions from hostage families and prominent Israeli public figures, including Nobel laureate Aaron Ciechanover, former Mossad head Tamir Pardo, former Shin Bet head Yuval Diskin, and former IDF chiefs of staff Moshe Ya'alon and Dan Halutz.
