Journalist and media personality Haim Levinson has publicly criticized fellow host and journalist Abri Gilad, accusing him of exhibiting signs of untreated narcissism. Levinson made the remarks on his podcast, "Levinson in the Morning," following an interview Gilad gave to journalist Itai Segal. In that interview, Gilad discussed his financial struggles, attributing them to his ADHD and stating he could not afford to retire.
Levinson countered Gilad's explanation, suggesting his constant work and self-absorption stem from a psychological need for attention rather than financial necessity. "One of the most extreme untreated narcissists in Israel is Abri Gilad," Levinson stated, urging Gilad to stop blaming others and take responsibility for his mistakes. He also invited Gilad to appear on his podcast to discuss his issues.
In addition to his criticism of Gilad, Levinson also attacked the credibility of a Channel 14 election poll. He accused pollster Shlomo Philber of manipulation, claiming the channel altered its presentation of poll results to favor Prime Minister Netanyahu. Levinson alleged that the channel began grouping Arab parties together graphically and cutting Likud's projected mandates to create an appearance of a tie, aligning with Netanyahu's desired narrative.
