Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned a statement made by commentator Yinon Magal against Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Gadi Eisenkot, calling it "very inappropriate." Speaking on Radio Tzafon, Netanyahu stated, "I condemn it and would be happy if Eisenkot would condemn all the statements by Gali Albin and others that Likud members are chimpanzees and baboons." Netanyahu added that while Magal said something he shouldn't have, he "hears every day the condescension, the patronizing, and the contempt that is harbored towards Likud voters, calling them monkeys, baboons, and chimpanzees."
