Yinon Magal, host of Channel 14's program 'HaPatriotim,' was involved in a verbal altercation on the street with a passerby who criticized Magal's recent remarks about Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of "Yashar!". A video of the encounter, showing the two exchanging insults, was published on social media by protest activist Barak Cohen.
The passerby approached Magal, who was walking his dog, and called him "disgusting and repulsive," questioning his audacity to call Eisenkot, a former IDF Chief of Staff, a "monkey." The man continued to berate Magal, calling him a "stupid mouthpiece" and a "despicable person."
Magal responded by calling the man "a monkey" and repeatedly told him to "go away." When the man continued filming, Magal quipped, "How pathetic, walking around with a camera."
The confrontation stems from comments Magal made on 'HaPatriotim' in mid-October, where he referred to Eisenkot as a "monkey" and described those he claimed were managing Eisenkot as "elitist Ashkenazim." The exchange concluded with the passerby reiterating his view that Magal was "repulsive and disgusting."
