  • Likud activist Shlomi Vaknin mocked Gadi Eisenkot with a pacifier on live television.
  • Vaknin's actions were a response to Yinon Magal calling Eisenkot a "monkey."
  • The activist suggested Eisenkot should use the pacifier if he cries.
  • Vaknin claimed Netanyahu and his family face harsher criticism.
  • The incident occurred during an interview on Kan News.

During a Kan News interview discussing the controversy surrounding media personality Yinon Magal's remarks about Gadi Eisenkot, Likud activist Shlomi Vaknin produced a pacifier. Vaknin offered the pacifier to Eisenkot, chairman of the Yash'a! party, stating, "If he cries, give him this pacifier." He was responding to Magal's insult, which referred to Eisenkot as a "monkey."

Vaknin presented the pacifier to the camera towards the end of the broadcast, mocking Eisenkot's reaction to the insult. He suggested that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his family endure far harsher criticism daily than Eisenkot experienced. "What Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his family endure on a daily basis, they just called him 'monkey' once, and he was horrified. Oh dear, what would have happened with Benjamin Netanyahu," Vaknin said, holding the pacifier.
