Israeli actor and voice actor Tomer Sharon, known for his role as Timon in "The Lion King," has sharply criticized Yinon Magal, calling him "the most abominable person in the country." When asked about the resemblance between Magal, host of "HaPatriotim," and the late comedian Dudu Topaz, Sharon expressed a wish for them to share a "similar fate."

Sharon made these remarks during the "Shidur Hozer" podcast with Prial Peleg. He also addressed the upcoming elections, stating that hating Arabs is not a sign of strength and that racism exists even within the "change bloc." He argued that Israel is founded on racist principles, citing the exclusion of Arab parties by half of the "change bloc" as an example.

Furthermore, Sharon asserted that Arab citizens of Israel behaved admirably on October 7th, with some being murdered and others providing assistance in the Gaza envelope. He believes they are less dangerous to him and his liberal life than many Kahanists, Otzma Yehudit members, Ben-Gvirs, and Smotriches. He stated that his friends in Jaffa are more like brothers to him than Ben-Gvir.

Regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial, Sharon described Netanyahu not as a leader but as a "fugitive criminal" whose sole aim is to avoid prison. He believes Netanyahu is guilty and that the trial would have concluded already if this were not the case.
