  • Amir referenced a previous controversial video Zarmon posted of her nude husband.

A political appearance on social media influencer Dana Zarmon's Instagram page has sparked a heated online debate. Zarmon hosted Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yishar party, leading Channel 14 military correspondent Noam Amir to criticize the move on his X account. Amir sarcastically tweeted, "Good job Gadi, this is exactly your audience." The exchange stems from a recent surge in social media personalities engaging in the upcoming election campaign and urging the public to vote. Zarmon, a prominent content creator involved in this effort, posted a joint video with Eisenkot, which provoked Amir's ire.

Amir's tweet alluded to a previous incident involving Zarmon during her family vacation in Italy. He wrote, "Girls who film their husband's penis and post it on Instagram, and they think it's amazing." This referenced a video Zarmon shared about three weeks prior, documenting her husband the Dana Zarmon's husband bathing nude, an act that generated significant controversy and became the basis for Amir's attack.

Amir's aggressive tone did not go unanswered, as his tweet quickly drew sharp criticism from users who attacked him in return. Comments included "Wow, lower than your usual" and "Lower than grass height. You're really pathetic." Other respondents mocked Amir on a professional and political level, with one user writing, "Noam, it's noted in the Likud notebooks that you tweeted. You can rest," and another sarcastically concluding, "High level of journalism."
