Public relations executive Ran Rahav has launched a scathing public attack on Yaakov Bardugo, a commentator for Channel 14 and a candidate for the Likud party in the upcoming Knesset elections. The controversy erupted after Bardugo made remarks on air that were perceived as disrespectful towards retired Major General Amos Yaron, and by extension, his son Ron Yaron, the editor of Channel 12's "Ulpan Shishi" program.
Rahav, known for his outspoken views, posted a strong denunciation on social media, defending Amos Yaron as a "hero of Israel" and a "giant among giants" in protecting the homeland. He contrasted this with Bardugo, whom he accused of "destroying the homeland" and causing "social disaster" on Channel 14 and the radio station where he previously broadcast. Rahav also alluded to Bardugo's social standing and alleged sycophantic behavior.
Furthermore, Rahav criticized Bardugo's perceived lack of dignity compared to Ron Yaron, whom he called a "guardian of the candle of Israeli democracy," while accusing Bardugo of being its "destroyer." Rahav issued a stark warning about Bardugo's political future, suggesting that once Prime Minister Netanyahu is no longer in power, Bardugo would be ostracized and become a "leper" Knesset member.
This is not the first public clash between Rahav and Bardugo. In March, Rahav criticized Bardugo for comments made about politicians, journalists, and former military officials who expressed dissatisfaction with the government's handling of the conflict with Iran. Rahav at the time pointed to Bardugo's own high income as a journalist, calling him the "richest journalist in Israel" and questioning his criticism of others' salaries.
