  "summary": "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned Channel 14 presenter Yinon Magal for calling Yashar party chairman Gadi Eisenkot a monkey, accusing the opposition of failing to condemn similar insults against Likud voters. Netanyahu criticized the double standard in the treatment of his political supporters, calling on Eisenkot to condemn derogatory remarks directed at Likud voters. Magal made the comments during a Saturday evening broadcast of Channel 14's political talk show, accusing Eisenkot of serving as a figurehead for an Ashkenazi political elite.",
