01 · THE DISPATCH

Journalist Noam Amir, known for his political commentary, issued a direct statement to MK Gadi Eizenkot (National Unity) on Tuesday evening. The message, published on social media, advised Eizenkot not to 'try to be a Moroccan — they won't let you be prime minister.' The remark appears to reference Eizenkot's political positioning and private ethnic background (Eizenkot is of Sephardi/Mizrahi descent). The comment has drawn attention in political circles as a sharp critique of Eizenkot's efforts to broaden his appeal among Mizrahi voters. Amir's phrasing was blunt and has been interpreted as both a political warning and a personal jab. No further context or response from Eizenkot has been reported.
