Commentator Amir Chatrouni has launched a scathing critique of marriage, using journalist Shlomi Eldar's recent personal revelations as a springboard. In a social media post, Chatrouni presented a cynical economic analysis of matrimony, arguing that marriage is either a waste of resources or exploitation. He contrasted declining marriage rates in Europe with rising rates in Israel, suggesting that divorce and legal fees are the inevitable outcome for Israeli couples.
Chatrouni specifically targeted Eldar, whose interview with Roni Kovan on the program "Meeting" detailed the painful end of his 26-year marriage to playwright Michal Aharoni. Eldar revealed that he discovered his wife's three-year affair with a wealthy businessman, whom Eldar knew personally, just minutes before a significant journalistic scoop about a conversation between Mohammed bin Zayed and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was to be published.
The discovery occurred when Eldar, reconnecting an old desktop computer, found correspondence exposing the affair. This followed a period of suspicion, including his wife's plan to travel to London with the businessman, which she explained as a theater outing she concealed due to his potential reaction.
Eldar described his belief that Aharoni was the love of his life, recounting shared laughter and a song by Van Morrison that accompanied them. The revelation led to severe anxiety attacks and a mental breakdown, with those around him suggesting hospitalization. However, Eldar stated that the moment of discovery brought an immediate internal shift and a sense of catharsis, enabling him to "choose life" and move forward.
When asked if he still missed his ex-wife, Eldar definitively replied that he no longer did.
