Media personality and creator Meni Assayag has launched a sharp personal attack against Knesset member and Zehut party chairman Moshe Feiglin. Assayag criticized Feiglin's political conduct and statements regarding the war's achievements, suggesting that Religious Zionism chairman Bezalel Smotrich should run separately from Feiglin in future elections.

In a post on the social media platform X, Assayag described Feiglin as a "narcissistic megalomaniac with zero pragmatism," whose criticism of the war's successes resembles that of "left-Kaplan spokesmen." Assayag accused Feiglin of believing he always understands and does things better than everyone else, recalling Feiglin's past challenge to Benjamin Netanyahu for leadership of the Likud party.

Assayag also referenced Feiglin's Zehut party's 2019 election campaign, which promoted cannabis legalization and garnered 2.7% of the vote, failing to cross the electoral threshold. Assayag derided this period, suggesting Feiglin aligned with "Tel Aviv stoners" who promised him seven mandates.

Assayag's most pointed criticism was directed at Feiglin's current partnership with Smotrich. The two ran together on a joint list in the recent elections, winning six mandates. Assayag stated that Feiglin wrongly claims in interviews to have brought more mandates than Smotrich. Assayag concluded by advising Smotrich to "run alone next time."
