Radio host Eyal Berkovich fiercely attacked fellow broadcaster Yinon Magal on air at 103FM on October 18, 2026, calling Magal's recent remarks about General Gadi Eisenkot damaging and unacceptable. The exchange escalated into a heated confrontation when Arel Segall defended Magal, suggesting Eisenkot was misunderstood and was being used as a pawn against Prime Minister Netanyahu. Segall claimed Magal meant Eisenkot was a 'monkey for the elites,' manipulated by others, and that Magal was aware of harsh criticisms leveled against Netanyahu. Berkovich interrupted, accusing both Magal and Segall of being 'servants of the king' and 'idolaters.'
Magal had previously caused a stir on the program 'HaPatriotim' by referring to Eisenkot as a 'monkey,' suggesting that behind him, 'elitist Ashkenazim' were controlling him, comparing the situation to 'The Emperor's New Clothes.' The 'Yashar' party quickly responded to Magal's comment, stating that the fear of losing the upcoming election revealed their 'ugly truth' and contempt for a large segment of the public. The party asserted that in ten days, Israel would elect a 'true patriot' from Moroccan descent, who grew up in the periphery, to lead the government and rectify the damage caused by the Netanyahu administration.
